The performance will most likely go down, since you will probable have to open more than one partition in every select. It's faster to get data from one table than from two.
Even if you have a big table, you must consider well how to make the partition.
i.e.: if you access a table always per FISCAL month, but you make partitions on every REAL month, you'll have to access (almost) always two partitions..., which might be even slower than one big table...
--> Don't partition small tables !!!
