Can you give us some numbers? I'm really curious to see them.

There are some solutions in the Wiki that could compensate from having a slower but larger partition instead of the very limited rootfs. For instance, make some kind of large partition in the eMMC, placing almost everything there. Place only the /boot, some recovery stuff and some of the most speed critical applications (phone?) on some directory mounted on the OneNAND. Those get a symlink from the standard location to the "fast partition".
