Depending on near/far choices, raid10 should be faster than raid5, with

use and swap on a normally booted system it is quite fast.
Hmm, why would you put swap on a raid10? I would in a production
environment always put it on separate swap partitions, possibly a number,
given that a number of drives are available.
Because you want some redundancy for the swap as well. A swap partition/file
becoming inaccessible is equivalent to yanking out a stick of memory out of
your motherboard.
