Do you really need the swap space during boot up? If you don't need it, 
you could remove the entry fron "/etc/fstab" and later enable it with the 
appropriate swapon command in "/etc/rc.local". OTOH if you need it to 
resume from hibernate I don't think it would be useful to eliminate the 
passphrase check.
