OSX/Panther: UFS vs. HFS+ for swap area

but then decided that someone here might know better ;-)
Under OSX 10.3.5 I'd like to mount separate file system
(on a separate hard drive) as /private/var/vm, i.e.
dedicated swapping area. What should I choose - UFS,
or HFS+ - and why?

Do you want simple? Pick UFS since it is the oldest UNIX
filesystem format in current use.
Do you want performance? Pick HFS+ because it is the latest
and greatest.
Knowing you're on a Mac, which is bound to be a small machine
with under a few terabytes of connected data, simple should
probably win.
