Agreed -- but in theory a swap partition might be slightly faster. It
should not get fragmented, it doesn't share space with the root
filesystem (which could be getting full), it can even be on a
different physical disk...

On some of my machines, where I have both types of drive, I keep / on
SSD but /home and swap on HD. Slower but lots more room, it doesn't
wear out my flash media, etc.

Yes, it's much slower, but then, if I am hitting swap hard, things are
going to be slowing way down anyway...
