You know, if you think about the geometry of a disk, it seems to me that it would make sense to put your swap partition on the first cylinders. Most people do not fill up even 25% of their disk, so the heads spend most of their time in that particular portion of the disk. Putting your swap on the outside cylinders means the arms have to sweep across the disk to access swap and then back to read data.

Thoughts?
