If you have 4 1GB swap partitions of equal priority it will interleave operations between them giving you a RAID0 type effect and increasing overall swap performance.
Note that this will only increase your swap performance if those partitions are on separate physical hard drives. If they're all on the same spindle -- well, that's a bit silly.
