The best reason for partitioning that I know of is to set a small partition solely for your pagefile. Set your pagefile to a fixed size (1.5 x RAM) on this partition and you'll notice a substantial paerformance improvement. (I have 1GB RAM, so 2GB partition with pagefile set at 1.5GB).

Then, to keep it "out of sight out of mind", I tell Windoze to hide the drive letter.
