The alignment seems to be bad on every partition if you do it by hand, but
if you just let it use the whole disk, the first parttition is good, but the
swap seems out of kilter and probably slow if and when I ever get into swap.
That I can likely fix live by doing a swapoff before I send gparted to adjust
its start a mebibyte at a time.
Thanks Chris.
