Most[1] volume operations are limited to one-per-partition, because it 'locks' the entire partition (just creates a file that other utilities look for) when it attaches a volume; a legacy from the inode fileserver days. Therefore, if you have more partitions, you can do more things simultaneously. I believe there's a plan to get rid of this; I don't want to say "it's being worked on" yet because I don't think work has actually started, but... it's a known room-for-improvement.
