I for one would make swap be the first partition, to put it at the
start of the disk (faster seek access time, I believe).

As Mike said, you really shouldn't need /boot either, or if you do,
you'd be hard-pressed to need more than ~25Mb IMHO (and that's with
half a dozen kernel images...)

I'll leave other suggestions to other folks...
