This is how my machine is layed out. :)

And yes, I've found that putting /opt on it's own slice at the beginning of the hard drive does speed things up. If one thinks about /opt is where KDE lives and those programs are quite large...so having them at the beginning of the disk does improve the speed. :)
And I got in the habit a couple years ago of putting /home on a seperate disk so I never had to worry about that kind of thing.
