[squid-users] Hard Drive configuration

I'm setting up a new linux server to host a squid proxy, the server has one
6GB SCSI hard disk. I'd like to know if it would be better to create a
seperate partition for the squid cache, or just have one partition (+swap)
which holds the OS and the cache. Which of these would give the best
performance? Or is the difference negligible?

Any ideas appreciated,

TIA
