If you deleted the swap, than comment that line out and even if you
should create a new swap, you still would need to replace the UUID.

I don't know if it affects the startup performance, if fstab contains a
missing swap, at least missing partitions that contain "normal" file
systems could slow down startup or even completely cause the startup to
fail, if they are missing (I don't know what a default Ubuntu does use
as the default setting, if a partition should be missing).
