Swap is just about on all systems in a separate partition and it is a 
very good idea to have that on a separate physical drive for performance 
reasons.

In *nix systems the type of file system (not every distro has the same 
"preferred" file system for the same type of file types) you use can 
also have drastic performance differences and it also depends what you 
put on that file systems, e.g. lots of document type files are not the 
same then e.g. a database data folder etc etc.
