Warning! This is what I'd heard somewhere that caused me to try Silverlining on my iMac hard drive, with disastrous results leading to an unusable drive, requiring a lot of work to bring it back.
Maybe because I have version 6.4? But if my experience is any indication, you'd want to be *very* certain of what you're doing before letting Silverlining partition your internal drive.
