anyone putting their osx "swap files" on a separate HDD? any improvement?
wondering whether logic's performance would improve?

With 4.5G on my system, there's virtually no swap activity. Putting swap on a separate drive will only make a significant difference if there's significant swap activity, which generally isn't the case on a system that runs Logic smoothly.
Check your 'page outs' number in 'top' or Activity Monitor. If it's not increasing, optimizing swap performance won't yield any benefit.
