Hi.
I don't think small rootfs will slow down the device. 9mb is dangerously low though. You should uninstall some apps you got from extras-devel and extras-testing, since if rootfs comes down to 0 your device will brick (you'll need to flash it).
I think a freshly flashed N900 has about 70mb free rootfs, I personnally run at 58mb free and installed nearly nothing from devel and testing.
Hope it helped.

Just disable all other respositories like extras-devel, extras testing etc.
You can enable them when you want to download an application.

i had lots of themes of installed which killed my free space, so if you got lots get rid of a few.
also if you want to get into the more technical side you re-direct your apt-cache, themes and so on, so thats its stored on the 32gb memory. ill find the page and edit this post with the link.
EDIT: heres what i followed

Am i right in saying that the application conky can give you an accurate rootfs reading?
After disabling extras devel, extras testing and diablo CONKY shows 55.8mb free about 27%.
How do we know which applications are optified or not?

Maemo extras are all optified. Testing and devels are often not optified. What I do is before installing an interesting app, I come on this forum and do some research to know if the app is safe to use.
That's what I did with fMMS, which is still in devel, and then I installed, and saw that it really works well.
Yes Conky is accurate!
