ACK. This will also keep fragmentation down and thus performance up.
For Gentoo, it may be a good idea to put portage stuff on a separate
partition because it uses tens of thousands of small files that provoke
fragmentation. On my laptop I have one partition with two directories
usr-portage and var-cache-edb that are symlinked to the respective
places in the root FS.
