Something like that. The crash issue on disk failure though makes
seperate swap so not worth considering. The idea of raid was to avoid

Yes. So it's just a matter of priorities: if your top priority is
reliability, do swap on raid with redundance; if your top priority is as
fast as possible number crunching and you don't mind the increased risk of
losing the last day or so of results, do swap on separate partitions without
raid. I have a number of both extremal situations, with a larger number
somewhere in-between :)
