> hen I benchmarked it on a (spinning rust) HDD

Yes, but as your article notes HDDs have different performance characteristics depending on where the sectors are physically located on the platter.

If you could force the swapfile to the same location on the platter it shouldn't perform differently.

Most people are going to be using solid state where this doesn't matter.
