I believe that benefit from having the separate partition for the page file
is the fragmentation. It helps to keep the page file from fragmenting, also
I believe it is recommended that you set you minimum and maximum for the
page file the same this will also help reduce fragmentation. Although I
still agree that you will probaly get better performance from a seperate
physical drive.
Happy Days!

If you put it on simply a separate partition, I think you've probably
surmised correctly you're unlikely to realise any performance hike - unless
your reasons for doing it are something like a more conducive allocation
unit size, or fragmentation - but even then, the likelihood is that any
gains are likely to be minimal, if observable.
There may be other reasons to do this, though - perhaps not particularly
performance related. Perhaps some security proviso, or disk space management
or something.
Otherwise, another spindle is likely to be a better bet for any presumed
performance gain.
