The simple explanation is that the zImage-40-24 allocates more RAM to be used by the system and programs and less for the installation of programs. If you have an SD-card to install your apps to, most (I think) users install the 64-0 so that they have 64 megs of RAM for system use.

With zImage 32-32 you have 32 MB of RAM for running programs and 32 MB for installing. In the other hand, the second kernel has 40 MB for running program and 24 for installing. I agree with Greg response. If you have a SD-Card you should try a zImage-64-0 (all the memory for run programas).

If is more secure install extra programs on SD (you have free space always). You will be able to run bigger programs directly
