Create a swap file. I'm not sure about the speed compared to a swap
partition but if you have room somewhere, no need to repartition.

I might add, 4GBs is not much nowadays.  When I had 16GBs before my
upgrade to 32GBs, I'd sometimes run out of memory.  Of course, I have
portage's work directory on tmpfs but the bigger stuff was on hard
drives still.  Some packages need a lot of memory.  Even with 32GBs, I
still have some compile on hard drive and it uses a lot of memory just
for the processes themselves.  The more jobs, the more it uses.  I still
have a large swap partition even with 32GBs.  If LOo, Firefox and a
couple others hit at the same time, it uses swap at times. 

Just something to think on.
