The TIF is a big fragmentation/random access "provider" (any partition
with a minimum of self-respect shouldn't host it).
Many people put it on a dedicated partition, disk, flash drive, ram
drive etc. to improve the responsiveness of IE or the perfs of the
main partition (though many combinations actually don't do any
good ...).
Same goes for the swap file, logs files, temp files etc.
It might even be possible to do it without actually changing the
logical path of the TIF with an NTFS junction (linkd or mountvol, got
to try it yet ...).
