Common sense says "data usage on RAC nodes- aligned to table partitions " should do better.
Say, a table list partitioned on state column, thus dividing Txn activity of major states such as NY and CA into 2 different partitions. App is serviced by 2 node RAC, and all NY customers are served thru node-1 , and CA customers thru node-2
Simple data load comparison shows that cluster-waits are more in the mixed workload scheme.

My question is : Has anyone seen significant/dramatic performance gains by aligning application usage to table partitioning ? If so, what was the gain % (though it would largely depend on the workload , h/w etc )

Thanks in advance.
