5-boxing on my rig dies in Orgrimmar. [Thanks for nothing shadows]

I have my slaves running out of different directory's to my main (I have 3 copys split over 3 different drives) All the slaves have their settings turned down to absolute minimum.
Having the directorys split over 3 drives means when I hit an bit area like Org it doesnt have to load 5 copys of it from 1 drive (When I had it all on 1 drive my HDD would go insane when I hit org)

I tend to find that I get better performance from one directory and symbolicly linked files, rather than having multiple directorties across different drives.

I have heard of this but have never actually looked into it. However I would likely always keep at least 2 directorys (One for slaves) to ensure I can play my slaves as single toons from the primary directory.

But apart form the above what are the benefits of the symbolicly linked files? And how does it work in general?
