Bug Description
Binary package hint: gparted
When moving a swap partition, gparted copies all the data from the old place to the new one. This is absolutely unneccessary ;-)
Please set the priority to wishlist, if you are allowed to, thanks.

I can see one use-case for keeping the data: if you hibernated before booting from the live-CD and expect to be able to resume after repartitioning, but I suppose supporting that is not what most people expect (and it doesn't work with current GParted anyway, so this is really a bug).
