A partition by itself will not increase the performance unless you make sure 
that the home partition is on the outer part of the HD where the speed is 
higher AFAIK and can imagine. But the /home partition still have to compete 
with the other partitions on that one HD when it comes to traffic.

Personally, I use a whole HD dedicated to the /home partition and I have 8 GB 
of memory. I have not tested how far I can go before everything melts down, 
but think that I "have enough" HD speed.
