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.
