I don't think that single vs. multiple mount points per se makes a performance difference.
This depends on the operating system. Solaris (at least up to Sol8) will assign kernel threads and resource pools per mount point, so a large number of mounts is often faster.
On the other hand, mounting the _same data set_ over different mount points is a loss because you end in caching the same data several times. You need to split your data set over several mountpoints to avoid this effect.
