swap priorities

Hello all,

Does anyone know where i can find information of swap priorities in
2.1.xx kernels? the swap(2) man page reads:

If two or more areas have the same priority, and it is the highest
priority available,
pages are allocated on a round-robin basis between them.

I'm trying to determine if there would be a performance gain in creating
swap areas on different disks with similar priorities - so that
secondary swap areas are utilized before primary areas are completely
full.

thanks in advance,
