The reason for this is that unlike a cd the hard drive reads from the outside of the drive first where the speed is faster than the centre. Hence a speed advantage is gained, put your swap file there and you will see a noticeable difference.
Are you sure about this? The linear speed of the disk is certainly faster at the outside but the rotational speed is the same. Aren't there the same number of sectors around each track?
