I've heard that it sometimes helps system responsiveness to have a swap
partition on the outer edge/cylinders of a drive since these should have
faster access times.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Should I
even bother?  Also, if I format a drive and create a swap partition first,
will most formatting utilities actually put that partition first (i.e. on 
the outer cylinders of the drive)?

Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

Later.
