My intuition said that separating a hard disk into several partitions should result in a slightly faster system, because writes to different partitions will not cause metadata contention (e.g., journal, volume bitmap, etc.) But that's just my intuition; I'd be very interested in a definitive answer from anyone well-versed in filesystems.
