Moving your swap files to another partition is a waste of time if it is a
partition and not a disk. It doesn't speed anything up, since the same disk
is still hitting several places at once. It could be useful if you have a
second disk that you only use for swap files - in fact, it's a good way to
use a small HD for something.
