Move swap to another partition, revisited again
Authored by: jcbeckman on Jun 17, '05 10:29:48AM

You'll only get a real benefit if you move it to a different physical drive. Partitioning a single drive and then putting the swap on another partition will probably not bring any noticeable improvement.

In fact, it may result in decreased performance by increasing the time it takes the drive heads to move between the "swap" data and the "non-swap" data.
