Primary vs. Extended partitions

[eparis@ven.ra.rockwell.com (Eloy A. Paris)]

Hi,

the docs. in /usr/doc/lilo are very good to understand the concept of
primary and extended partitions (and the logical partitions contained
in these extended partitions). However, I would like to know if there
is any perfomance hit if extended partitions are used instead of
primary partitions. I guess more calculations are needed to access a
specific sector in the hard disk in the case of extended partitions.

Any suggestions on which kind of partitions is better?

Thanks in advance.
