I was once told that it's best practice to store tables and indexes in separate tablespaces located on separate physical drives. It seemed logical that this should improve performance because the read-head wouldn't need to jump back and forth between a table and its index.
However, I can't seem to find this advice anywhere online. Is it indeed best practice? Is it worth the hassle?
