why do you say that swap files are not recommended ? I know the're
slower than swap partitions, but I can't see what other problems can exist.

I've a machine with 64 MB ram, 1 swap partition of about 32 MB (made
like that when I only had 32 MB ram) 1 swap file of 127 MB (it doesn't
take 128 MB, you must put something less).
On another machine with only 16 MB ram I have a 127 MB partition and a
127 MB file. The file gets seldom used.
