is this better performance?
installing the OS by itself on a seperate drive/partition and then installed apps,etc... on a sperate drive/partition ...will that speed up the system? if so why?

I have also been doing it for backup purposes. If system goes down, it only wipes out C drive, not everything. Just be careful when re-installing so that you don't do anything to the wrong partition.

It relies upon which distro of which one you're concerning as Apple's OS X Leopard is Unix and there are approximately 40 diverse Linux distros and various UNIX distros at the same time with sunlight and BSD.

Yes. Better system preformance. If you install apps on a drive use less than 75% or performance will degrade

Separate drives will help speed for the os files - the other advantage is that if you need to rebuild the OS drive you can just wipe it clean and still have your data.
