VMware performance: physical partitions vs images?

Has anybody here done benchmarks comparing vmware using physical
partitions vs using file-based images? I see a number of references
that using physical partitions is faster (and that "feels" true), but I
cannot find any performance testing showing just how much faster and in
what ways.
