Subjectresizing swap partition? maybe off-topic

ok, the last 2 partitions on my drive are this..

Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders
/dev/sda3 639 639 1101 3719047+ 83 Linux native
/dev/sda4 1024 1102 1106 40162+ 82 Linux swap

is there any way I can take a chunk off the end of sda3 and then
remake my sda4 to be like 128MB? Without destroying the current info on
sda3.

someone suggested just making a swapFILE on sda3 instead with mkswap.
would there be any performance difference? if not, could i tack my unused
sda4 onto sda3 then or would i have to mount it under a specific
directory to reuse it again?

Thanx,

-Tony
