And put the ESP at the end of the disk as the last partition. Then they're on 
the slowest part of spinning disks. And they can be easily removed and space 
absorbed by the preceding file system if desired. 

And then we can definitely justify making them bigger. 550MB, or even 1GB. It's 
neutral to plus for performance for either HDDs or SSDs (faux short stroked in 
the former, and overprovisioned for the latter). Does anyone know why the 
convention is to create the ESP as the first partition?
