Swap partitions

Subject: Swap partitions

Hello,
I am new to the Darwin / MacOS world and I am looking for some
guidance. For starters I have heard any number of pros and cons about
the swap file system used in Darwin. I understand the basics of the
Dynamic Pager system ,but I am wondering why there appears to be a lack
if support to dedicated swap partitions. Is this a limitation of XNU?
or is this to make Apple's end users happy I.E. when they buy a 150G
disk they don't see 149G available. ;) .

Thanks a bunch
