From memory it's just to delete it, which is perfect.
It would take too long to zero it out - I don't think that's the
purpose. Instead, I think, it should prevent swapfile fragmentation -
making it a very good general-purpose setting to enable.
What would be really idea for the OP is some kind of grub setting & a
bash script that formats the partition to the appropriate format for
the o/s being booted. But you'd have to be clever about it to avoid
long boot times.
