As long as its not swapping to SD card, which tends to lock it up for
anything up to a couple of minutes. If you've got a fast USB3 stick
(even if the Pi is USB2) or a SSD, then swapping is slow, but you can
carry on using it.

With those larger devices I normally have more than one OS installed, so
I also use swap partition, to prevent having swap files take up space on
each filing system.
