There is nothing wrong with untying and switching ends. It is a useful tool in fast efficient climbing.
If you find tying a knot difficult then I would start questioning the rest of your anchor and gear. It certainly isn't slower if you do it properly. I regularly climb with 3s and I move damn fast up a cliff. Avoiding CFs is key.
The number one rule in fast climbing with multiple ropes is don't fuck with the rope stacks. If that means swapping ends the you do it.
