:-) If there's one thing I can recommend it's making sure the swap partition
is the first partition on the drive - the outer cylinders on a drive
usually have the highest data density and thus yield the highest transfer
rate. If you system's going to swap now and then that extra 1 MB/s gained
by moving swap from the last to the first partition is sure worth it.
