what is the difference between swap partition and swap file

[Da Liu]

hi~
can anybody tell me the what the difference is between them? How about the
efficiency?

I am not sure whether  I should enlarge the /swap partition or make a swap
file
as a virtural swap partition.

Which is better?

I wanna increase the swap because my laptop cannot hibernate correctly.
(1G memory, now the /swap is ~1G) .
