And that is a very common and sensible thing to do, especially on production servers! People who run /usr, /var, /home all off the single / filesystem aren't taking due diligence when it comes to security IMO. That this may degrade performance may very well be, but it doesn't make having seperate partitions any less desired / needed in a production environment.
