Well, the total size is about 45K. Of course, we do not know the implementation details and overhead, but still it is very unlikely that firmware needs additional 80K to manage 45K of data. It sounds more like either firmware needs to be tricked into garbage collection or it leaks variable storage. In both cases reinitializing settings may actually bring available space up to the reasonable size.
