First of all, qemu is slow... and I believe the accelerator for it only works on linux so far.
I think it would be better to just increase the memory allocation passed to qemu, rather than create a swap on your flashdrive.

But if you want to use swap, you can use use a blank image (hdb I think is an example by default in dsl-embedded), and partition that as Linux swap.

Kqemu, the qemu accelerator does run in Windows also. Check out the docs at http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/user-doc.html for setting up the accelerator. For windows it is simple and quick to implement. Also, check out http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/ for downloading the Windows version of the accelerator.

Running qemu usng DSL can be very close to real time using Kqemu.
