Having your swap space as RAID-1 is redundant indeed :-) You will be
better off changing it to RAID-0.

Only if you don't care what happens when a disk crashes. With RAID-1, you'll be able to survive, with RAID-0 your system will crash, when it can't access the swap partition.

I however do not see why this should freeze your machine.

Me neither. Swap on RAID-1 works fine for me (though on 2.4).
