Best swap cylinders?

[cyoung at bbnplanet.com (Chuck Young)]

We have a typical beer-pub discussion going on here tonight about which
cylinders are the best to use for linux swap.  All other things being
equal (on an IDE drive) would most of you rather have it in low numbered
cyls (the beginning of the drive) or the high ones (/dev/hda4)?

I would assume one has a higher seek time on average and the other would
be ideal for swap.  If true, which is it: hi or lo?
