Actually, I can think of a few.
o Learning
Granted, no speed improvements, but you can learn about it.
Knowledge like that comes in handy in Interviews ;-)
o Partitioning issues.
It doesn't appear to be the case in this situation, but if you have a
large disk,
with multiple partitions (for some reason), you could use it to have a
single
directory. Granted there are other means, and I wouldn't reccomend
doing it
unless it was the more expedient method at the tim.
o Testing?
This one kind of goes aling with learning. Perhaps you are considering,
or
testing it out to see if it works with new kernels, etc..
Just off the top of my head ... :-)
