You seem to imply something magic is going happen to performance with
partitioning.  There's not really much magic in these boxes.  You
either move the disk head farther more frequently or you don't.  So if
your test stays mostly constrained to a small slice of disk that
you've partitioned you might think your performance is improved.  But,
that's only true if the test exactly matches real-world use - that is,
in normal operation, the same disk heads won't frequently be moving to
other locations to, for example, write logs.
