Good questions. While my test isnt the most detailed and doesnt have 10 different partials (only 2) It does demonstrate a "slight" speed increase for straight rhtml. I tested straight rhtml, partial with a collection and partial with local. The html for th collection is a little different...too lazy to fix. Feel free to take the app and modify it to make the test more detailed. You can download the app here: http://www.tangofoxtrot.com/assets/2007/4/26/partial_test.zip Uses sqlite3 and railsbench.
I tested using railsbench perf_run 200 -bm=main_controller
the results:
