hummm ... you're asking for trouble when thngs go bonkers
i'd modify that still... ( to my preferences )
/ - 128/256MB
/usr - 2MB - 4MB
/home - rest of disk thats left over
/tmp - chmod 1777 /tmp --> critical issue ??
( you want this "t" flag set )

sql and web stuff ( all user stuff ) belongs in /home/{sql, weblogs}
and symlinked from where ever in the defafult system it likes to keep
things

hopefully the machine never uses swap ... if it does, add more memory

yes ... it makes a big difference ...
will we do the work to figure out whether its 5%-10%-25% faster when
partitioned in the right order for the apps that's installed and
which ones runs most often ... we probably wont bother testing
the different partition schemes ( its somebody else's phd thesis )
