Is there any way to have a "pre-cooked" swap image of all the files you need
so that when you boot you can swap it all in in one big contiguous read
instead of having to read file by file?
not currently; file contents also never hits swap, it would require like
a full vm subsystem rewrite to achieve this. It's probably a lot easier
to either write some defrag tool that can move stuff, or to make a
hidden automatic buffer in the fs
