Usually the "others" are app data and jailbreak data database files, contacts information, settings, SMS data, core data, pre-installed apps, etc.

From what I've experienced over the years... sometimes the "Other" section will simply get gummed up w/ "STUFF." What it is... who knows. One thing is certain though... when the physical memory of your iDevice starts topping off it WILL slow it's processing speed down substantially. The only true way to remedy the large "Other" problem is a fresh restore as a NEW DEVICE... not from a backup. Restoring from a backup will only bring back the issues that were in place before. Make sure you have your contacts manually synced w/ iTunes... same w/ your pics, notes, calanders, etc. Once you restore as a NEW DEVICE everything will be gone.
