it's the concept of "graceful degradation", e.g. no matter how much pressure
you put on the system it should simply slow down more and more but never
actually stop.
the VM has been the achiles heel for linux in reaching this goal, but handling
processes never really has been much of a problem.

do you mean swap partitions or swap files? because the concept of "where" the
swap is kept really only matters if they are files. if they are partitions,
then relation to mounted filesystems has nothing to do (or at least very
little) with where those filesystems are mounted...
but you basically want your swap partitions wherever they will be fast to
access with little contention, e.g. on their own controller and disk if
possible ....
