in reply to Difference between a declared hash and stored one with storable.

I require those in my code when that data is to be decoded like

require won't create any my vars in your program, see Including files details

Is there any benefit to memory consumption with storable as it stores data in binary format.

No, the same hash will use the same amount of memory (RAM)

Storable might take slightly less disk space, but it would still take the same amount of RAM
