If you use data2sd then internal /data is not used.
You only need to format mmcblk1p2 to f2fs on the card for data2sd.
Both = very fast
faster than rom2sd? ive found it to be quick at times, then mighty slow at others. thanks!
if f2fs+data2sd is the faster option, how should i go about getting rid of the sd installation, just take it out and install like normal on the tablet?

I've noticed no difference between data2sd and rom2sd but f2fs allows better use of the tablet when things are downloading in the background for example.

Easiest way is install the latest TWRP 2.7.1.1 which has format options now for both ext4 (takes 90 mins) and f2fs (takes seconds).
You'll obviously lose everything if you format /data as f2fs so have a backup if you want to go back.
If you are using data2sd or rom2sd just remember to use the data2sd1.zip or rom2sd1.zip first to switch TWRP over to your external partitions otherwise you will be formatting internal.
So i boot into twrp, and format which partitions? the external sd card to extf4 and the internal to f2fs? sorry having trouble getting my head around this!

If you use data2sd (or rom2sd for that matter) you are not using the internal data partition for daily operations other than storage maybe. So you can leave it alone.
First step is to backup any data from the rom2sd data partition you want to keep.
Then you have to repartition the card. For data2sd you have to have 2 partitions (not 3 as in rom2sd): one fat32, one ext4 or f2fs. Do that in Gparted and while you're at it, you can format the future data partition to f2fs.
Then flash the rom with the data2sd option and _that v10 kernel.
I would also recommend getting TWRP 2.7.1

Go to the crombi-kk thread in the dev section and see post 2 - the instructions are there on how to do it
Once you partition it the installer will then do everything else for you
Go to this link: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/105
Then click the link: download latest .blob file from here under the Download Recovery Image / Fastboot Method header
Scroll down to the last version 2.7.1.1
