The energy released by the stars is the same no matter what you build around them. The stars will burn out at the same time regardless. The whole point of converting as much of the non-stellar mass of the universe as we can into computing devices and placing them in dyson swarms is to use as much of energy radiated by stellar objects for computation as possible. But you will never be using the entire stars output. The swarm is too diffuse for that.

The reason to do all that computation is to try and find some quirk that will let use escape heat death. And it's also surely not going to happen. But we will all die at the same time whether we try or not.
