I wanted the same thing, only in my case it was when using a very slow filesystem and it's very clear that the above autocmd only makes vim destroy the swapfile again after creating it.
I'd be very interested to see a way to prevent the swapfile from being created in the first place for certain paths. It seems like it's almost possible to disable swap by default and selectively enable it with some jiggering of autocmds, 'swapfile', and 'updatecount', but it's complicated by the fact that 'swapfile' is local-only and there doesn't seem to be any autocmd executed _after_ the buffer is initialized but _before_ the swapfile is created.
