You got me researching and thinking.
No, I'm not suggesting that you try this, but I might.
Danger: Do not do this
As factory provisioned an eMMC has 4 areas (equivalent to LUNs).
Boot1, Boot2 and RPMB are configured as SLC for speed and reliability.
User is configured as MLC for 2X greater storage.
You can convert the User area to SLC for some incremental speed increase.
But then your device has 1/2 the storage capacity that it had before.
And this change is irreversible.
If your device had 58 GB it would now have 29 GB.
If the system takes 7 GB then your book storage goes from (58-7) to (29-7).
That works out to about 7/16 the book storage that you had before.
Edit: I adjusted the numbers for using 7 GB for the system.
On a 32 GB it is about 1/3 the book storage.
Oh, and if you ever take this apart, please look at your eMMC chip and see if you can read the manufacturer's name off it.
