Don't partition, get a separate harddrive for the swapfile. You could pick up a 1GB one really cheap somewhere I'm sure. If windows is accessing the swap partition on your main harddrive, the heads aren't accessing the data you want, so the heads have to go back and forth. With a spearate harddrive for the swapfile, you've got a different drive heads doing different things all at once.
