I've found that allocating a couple of gigs to a dedicated partition on a secondary drive, just for the swap file, seems to work best. This assures that the swap file will never be fragmented, as it is the only file on this partition, and does result in quicker performance, when the swap file is being heavily utilized. Oh yes, and no need to use a fixed swap file size, it should make no difference if the swap file has its own partition.
