So I rooted my Nexus a while ago to be able to move apps to the sdcard to have some more space to install new apps.
But I could not move all apps like music or facebook.

Now after another while I sat over this again cause I was running out of memory again on my phone.
I finally got rid of many apps on my phones internal memory (had to remove apps and install them again, that works for almost every app it seems).

I managed to get over 50MB free on my internal storage.
What I do discover now is a massive speed improvement. Especially when it comes to smoothness.
Even more interesting when I update apps it happens that the space hits the 50MB mark and drops below that. When this happens the overall smoothness immediately drops also.

As I never read about it I wondered if that is known?
