Default a question on partitions

Hi everybody!
is there an actual difference between this partitioning scheme { /, swap, /tmp, /var, /home} and the extended one comprising those plus { /usr/X11R6, /usr/local, /usr/obj, /usr/src} ?

some would favor the latter .. I've read on a debian page something like that as well .. many partitions are better than one whole /
as far as OpenBSD is concerned , how does this help tighten the OS security/stability ?

Thank you ..
