How advantageous is it to use partitioning of tables as compared to normal approach ?

Is there a sort of sample case or detailed comparative analysis that could statistically ( i know this is too strong a word, but it would really help if it is illustrated by some numbers ) emphasize on the utility of the process.

Thanks,
