What is fastest is to have the swap closest to the space that is most 
used on the drive it shares. If there's a dedicated swap drive, then it 
doesn't matter, of course. If the swap partition or file is shared with 
a drive used for other purposes, then what constitutes optimum depends 
on the pattern of process-driven usage that is most likely to be 
experienced when swapping actually takes place.

Only the user or administrator of the system in question posses the 
information required to optimized swap allocation and placement.
