I stand corrected regarding the wear leveling.  I was under the impression 
that the mmcblk driver helped to even use of the blocks in a partition, so 
that if you had a larger partition the wear would be more evenly 
distributed, but apparently this is not the case.  So a larger partition 
does not help, or at least not using ext4 and similar non-flash-aware file 
systems.
