Not sure what to do about poor mouse performance. There is no graphics setting I know of. I would check your mouse drivers and settings.
You can turn off hibernation in Control Panel / System and Security / Power Options / Click 'Change plan settings' next to your current power plan and Change 'Put the computer to sleep' to 'Never', then Save settings.
Have you opened Device Manager and changed the USB and HID settings?
Expand list under USB in Device Manager
Double-click each USB entry and look for a Power Management tab
Uncheck the box "Allow PC to turn off..."
Repeat for all USB entries with that same tab
Now do same for any Human Interface Device with a Power Management tab in Device Manager
Exit Device Manager
Reboot
The XPS 8930 has some issues with random ~3-5 sec freezes which have been linked to Dell's pre-installed SupportAssist and SupportAssist Remediation Service (several long threads about this). So try disabling them, which solves the freezes for most users, if changing the Power Management settings doesn't help.
And you may also have to go into the active Windows Power plan and disable Hybrid Sleep and disable USB Selective Suspend on its Advanced Power Options screen for help with the mouse issue.
Disabling Sleep doesn't disable Hibernation. You'll find the option to disable Hibernation on the same Advanced screen where you disable Hybrid Sleep and USB Selective Suspend.
Be sure to save the changes to the power plan before leaving that screen and then reboot.

It is true that the less reading and writing to the SSD will increase its life but the tradeoff is performance. But also the amount of reading and writing due to the swapfile is probably not significant. Here is a procedure: https://www.download3k.com/articles/How-to-move-Pagefile.sys-and-Swapfile.sys-to-another-drive-in-Windows-8-8.1-or-10-00430

What do you mean by "poor mouse performance"?

1. No, that is not true today.
All Windows (and even Apps) should run from SSD as bootable C-Drive. Most machines only have SSDs now-days anyway.
2.
In Power-Profiles, turn off Fast startup
Then, at the Command Prompt ...
powercfg.exe /h off
That should do it.
