yes, but doing this when mkfs runs might be feasable
or perhaps why not tackle a subset of the problem and just optimise swap partitions
not knowing for sure, but are writes stored per disk or per partition and could
the ordering of reads/writes be done differenly for say the swap partition as
opposed to say an ordinary file system?
putting the swap in the middle of the disk might be an option
