Partitioning probably reduces the stress on the insert buffer. Does XtraDB/Percona Server have an option to use more IO for insert buffer merges when the ibuf gets too big?

Mark, Probably what you are referring to is provided by the configuration option “innodb_ibuf_accel_rate” available in Percona (as mentioned by Justin). Increasing/decreasing the value of innodb_ibuf_accel_rate, you will increase/decrease the insert buffer activity.
