You should specify a "pri" argument in the options field of your
/etc/fstab if you want round-robin swap balancing.  Your current setup
will fill /dev/hda2 first.

Now that I look at it there's no benefit for YOU since both swap
partitions are on the same disk!  If they were on seperate disks you'd
get some performance benefit if you added priority args:

 /dev/hda2      none    swap    sw,pri=1
 /dev/hdb2      none    swap    sw,pri=1

Cheers,
