There are two flash storage areas in the N900. The 256MB of OneNAND in the PoP on the OMAP3 contains the rootfs, the kernel and the bootloader. The second flash unit is the 32GB eMMC which contains home, swap and the large 27GB storage partition.

There's no easy way to make this better. Either you optify your packages (slow) or boot directly from eMMC (slower).
