As you've said, this isn't optimal by any means. Splitting out
filesystems and dedicating them to specific purposes makes maintaining
the system (backups, restores, tuning, file access speeds, etc.) much
more efficient.
Re: file access speeds, that only applies if you've got multiple HDAs,
right? If you've only got a single disk drive, multiple partitions will
usually slow things down as (e.g.) that single HDA jumps from one
partition to read some OS code over to another partition to read some
user data.
