I think "never".
PARTITION BY KEY, as I understand it, would be useful _only_ for "=" tests, not "range" tests. This is a "range":
> WHERE STARTTIME>=2012110900 and STARTTIME<=2012111623
The desired rows are scattered across most or all the partitions. (Even if not all, the optimizer can't figure that out, so it will check them all.)

Some new stuff in 5.5:

My previous comments about FLOOR() may be wrong:

Still, those comments may apply to "=" tests and not "range".
