I think these claims need to be backed up by quantitative data. The relative position of a swap partition might have been an important factor 10 years ago on slow hard disks in computers with little RAM. However, with most modern PCs shipping with at least 4GB RAM and fast hard disks with 32MB on-disk cache, I doubt that the average user would notice the difference where the swap partition was located.
