I think you need to explain why this would "speed up things a bit". If
everything is on one disk anyway, it's all pretty moot. If your partitions
could potentially live on different spindles, it's a different matter.
As I understand it, what you are saying is that your system has a certain
amount of disk I/O to perform as part of delivering mail and what you want
to do is to lump all this I/O onto one partition (and thus one spindle)
rather than distribute this load across different spindles (and potentially
multiple spindles).
