I don't have the details handy, but I think my suggestion to have "swap
priorities" was accepted and implemented somewere.
The "swap priorities" means that you can assign "priorities" to the
different
swap spaces, which makes Linux use all the spaces from a lower (higher?)
priority before moving on to the less-prefered spaces.
Try it, it might impruve your swap performance even better?
