Well, I think its fairly proven that writing/reading/etc between drives is
faster than doing so on the same drive, cross partitions. I actually did a
similar thing and noticed a bit of a performance increase. We put the system
and a few other things we have running a 4.5 GB U2 drive and the rest on a
second 9GB U160 drive. Our previous configuration had been just a single 9
GB U2 drive with partitions (yes, some of the performance boost may be from
upgrading to U160 from U2, but I think the separate drives help out
tremendously). But again, if the system drive is a LOT slower, it might be
more of a hindrance than putting it on a partition on the faster drive.
Hopefully someone else will have more specific answers to your exact
situation.
