Any experience with swapfiles?

I have two machines with 4GB of ram and I've never seen either one use
swapspace (yet) so I'm thinking I could delete my swap partitions and
substitute a much smaller swapfile -- if it's safe.

Any downside to using a swap file instead of a swap partition, maybe
depending on which filesystem you use, or something? Security holes?
Any horror stories out there?
