-doTkEvents is a message that processes any input or output events of
the Tk toolkit.  Tk is what currently is used to do most of the GUI
stuff in Swarm.  Without it, these events would just queue up and
never get processed, resulting in a static, unresponsive user
interface.  By sending -doTkEvents every so often, you're letting Tk
get a chance to keep the user interface up-to-date.
