As far as I know, yes it is a good idea. why?
first, because if u concentrate and isolate swap in one partition, there will be less (or no) file fragmentation. and file fragmentation itself causes access to your swap file slower.

if you don't create a new partition, your swap file will be cluttered / spread across the surface of harddisk. when your operating system want to load/write some information from/to the memory, it has to seek through the the file (which is scattered). this add more moves to your harddisk's head
