well a table and its index were never accessed at the same time anyway
- always serially., always one then the other - so it doesnt matter if
they were in the same tabespace / disk anyway.

Back in the old todays, before SAN's and striping and all that placing
hot segments on different disks was a good idea, but a process using a
table and its index would never benefit from it

So doing it for performance was / is a 'myth'.  For management sure
splitting them could be a good idea
