Im not the maintainer of picore but in general enabling swap is not going to speed up a system. It might be necessary to make it work, but by definition you enable ram to be swapped out and in which is a slower process that if you have everything in ram (see caveat below). Now, these are complex systems and I cant talk why the UI seems more responsive to you, there could have been many reasons like some other processes not running any more or some processes would be able to allocate more memory and that would be a better option to have system swap rather than developer-implemented handling of low memory / allocation failures. Now, squeezelite allocates buffers and if allocation fails, squeezelite will carp. It will not run with degraded performances, it will crash. The only case where you might have audio issues resulting of cpu overload is when the rate of sample sent to the DAC is less than realtime. But we are not talking anymore about sound quality.
