seperate memories for data and instruction masters?

I'm curious if anyone has experimented with putting 2 on chip memories in an SOPC. One which is connected to the nios instruction master and one that is connected to the data master? It seems there ...

could there be any advantage to using a dual port on chip RAM hooked to the CPU. Instruction master hooked to one port and the data master hooked to the other port. There must be some tradeoff here. Maybe it just takes more logic to implement but will give better performance?
