Did the same thing but some apps are designed with that in mind and I had worse performance so had to do a swap file again

  Never have I ever heard about apps that need a swap file to operate normally.

    Me neither but creating one fixed my performance issues so I figured that was the issue. TBF it was a pagefile under windows so it might be a windows specific quirk but the main point still stands
