swaps and partition mounts

["km" <km@themcminns.com>]

I know this is a religous topic of frequent debate,
but I'm on a rather personal quest to find the best
medium based on other people's experiences and my own.

The current question being explored is for servers that
run dedicated services such as web, mail or whatever
and whether using partitions for its various functions.
Lets assume its apache on OpenBSD3.0. Does anyone
have any emotions towards running apache on its own
partition and the webcontent on another partition
or something similar? emotions on i/o resonse speed
on a partition mounted on '/' vs multiple mount
locations?
