The device is partitioned to allow for 63MB (+ or - slightly) for the rom. Regardless of how much you add or remove in the rom, you are still flashing a 63MB file. You still have the same 40MB partition for user storage.

Now, there can be a slight difference in available storage due to the number of files that are copied by the initflashfiles. For instance, my latest rom boots with about 35MB free. This is due to the fact that I am copying a lot of files into different directories. However, it is only taking 1-2MB. And remember, this is with 30+ apps installed into the rom.

So, the only place you will actually save memory is in reducing the initflashfiles.
Why? I feel there is no need for clarification here 40 is 40 we all know that let the user decide if 35 or 37 is better its only a couple of megs but its your own choice what gets added verses someone deciding for you. The additions to your ROM are substantial in nature nut are the main reason for this ROM in my opinion choice is everything.
