I recall that in 2003 the separate /usr was shown as an option of multi-
partition install, rather than the 'recommended' way to install gentoo. Ma=
ny=20
followed it and some stayed with it. In those heady days of slow ATA drive=
s,=20
moving a partition closer to the start of the disk also made a difference i=
n=20
access/read/write speeds. Even with SATA 1.0 I used to get some noticeable=

difference, although I never ran any benchmarks at the time.
