I found the problem. It was not swap specific and the update took only a
long time if called from inside a chroot from the SHR distribution. The
problem was the mount option "sync" which was used by the udev automounter
from /etc/udev/scripts/mount.sh.
Is there anything the apt developers can improve? I'm not sure. Maybe a
optimization for this case would be good (reducing disk access) or checking
the mount options and outputting a warning?
At least the bogus download rate I mentioned earlier should be fixed until
this bug gets closed.
