a normal image is compiled with so much space left over in the only writable place the /var partition this is for the end user to play with such as plugins skins etc etc
normaly about 1.6mb not much really
a max-var image is compiled slightly different so it allows more space in the /var partition and allows the user to play with more plugins etc

cheers
