Hmm, I've not heard or seen anything about LVM partitions taking more resources (or time) to access. When I've used it on Solaris systems, its actually sped up services that were disk I/O intensive (I assumed because the requests were spread across multiple disks). Just to be safe though, I reformatted the system this morning and moved the Swap to it's own partitions (on three different drives).
