If you fill up the rootfs

(the ROM, as it is poorly called by tech journalists, is actually a OneNAND Flash chip attached to the CPU and is not truly Read Only Memory

There is no true "ROM" in the N900 that I am aware of.)

to 95% - 100% then yes you will see issues, but likely far worse than the device being "slow" (more like, being completely unable to function in many respects.) You are not likely to find yourself in such a position without installing applications from -devel, however.
