About the multiple times per day.
Honestly I don't know how you'd go about practicing competitively (5 or more hours per day) if you did not break it up.
Ideally I agree that we should dry out everything on the spot, but to address the cork compression, you really only need free the cork from the socket to allow the cork to re-expand (after all, it is only wood).
And speaking of wood, it is the wood fibers in paper (paper is wood too!) that make it abrasive. However, I don't find that the fine abrasiveness of paper toweling would have an adverse affect on the inside of a mouthpiece.
You MUST avoid the quick pull of a swab to avoid the friction or "sawing effect" that speed would impart. But as long as it is merely a silk swab (not all wadded up), it should pull through slowly just fine.
