Micah, of course, anything can be taken a step further but
at what point does the law of diminishing returns come into
effect ;-). Head seeks have the biggest impact on disk
access time. Having the recordings on a separate spindle
is the biggest performance gain. Putting / and /home on
the same disk is a good thing for organization and backups
but won't perform any better than if home was in one big
root partition.
