For me, partitioning was more of an organization issue than functionality. I have never found the partitions to make things run faster. But it was nice to have my files seperate from my programs.
And how does that change if they're in a different directory rather than a different partition?
The Mac OS (Classic or X) has never needed to reformat the hard drive to reinstall the system, and applications, user data and the system have always been easily separated; unlike, say Windows, where you can't re-install Windows without wiping out so much of your applications that you're better off re-installing them.
(A situation I'm currently dealing with on a staffer's laptop here. I cannot express how much I LOATHE Windows right now...)
