That is generally true. In theory, APIs to access a swap partition can be
implemented to use the disk device driver directly, removing the additional
processing incurred by file systems drivers.
In practice on NT, I believe the proper way is to implement a swap
file system driver, which can be made more efficient than regular
file systems drivers.
