Can't say I've even needed to start changing the more esoteric preference settings to get better performance out of my UFX because I can't really see how it could perform better. I can run buffers giving under 10ms round trip latency without any problems. Even the minimum sized buffer (around 6ms round trip latency @44.1KHz) works fine so long as I haven't too many heavy duty plugins running.
As for Sonar's configuration files being text, my guess os that the builders realised someone might need to change those variables, even if only very rarely, so they put the stuff in text files.
It also means the developers can easily change or experiment with Sonar's configuration settings without having to hack into the source code and recompile, which may or may not be why they did it this way but is one reason why things sometimes get done that way.
