On the contrary, it is a very good idea indeed to mirror the swap partition
if your aim is to make your machine resilient against disk failure. Losing
the swap will kill a machine just as dead as losing a filesystem. The
performance of a mirrored root drive is a bit slower on write but generally
faster on read -- it tends to pretty much even out in the end.
