Due to some debate in one of the usenet I decided to try using
multiple swap partitions, one on an IDE drive and the other on a SCSI
drive, to see if it increased performance.  I can't say I noticed
any performance increase while using the system.

However, I find it takes several times longer for a shutdown to
complete.  Is there any logic to that?
