XP performance in dedicated partition.

Juts wondering what performance increase I will get if I reconfig XP in it's own partition and having program files on another, but on the same drive.

Also, if so, are there any good utilities that will do this on the fly.

Thanks.

I'm thinking Norton Partition Magic will allow me to create a new partition and move the OS to this.
