Having several swap partitions, placed on different disks, and at the
same priority, has the huge advantage of parallelizing i/o operations:
faster system when swap is needed. The advantage is lost when done on
the same disk, but it works, nevertheless.
There is an issue, though: that hibernating and restoring a system can
not be done, to my knowledge, on several swap partitions. You may have
several, but only one is used for hibernation (on older kernels you got
an error on this situation).
