Maybe skim with plaster would be quicker if you had the skirting off the room. Can get problems with super thin skims on some friable renders. If the skirting is on you either lose some depth of skirting moulding or have to fix the edges next to the skirting or minimum clean the skirting. Plaster dust aftermath is usually worse than filler.
I have a 225mm long necked sander with a massive dust extractor which is designed to sand pb joints which makes the job easier, they are more popular on the continent where they don't skim plasterboard. You could just use a wet sponge to smooth out the worst of it after it dries, Easy Fill is very good like that or just make a good job of plastering it! Skimming a 8ft 4m wall should take about 30-40 mins or less.
Never been able to use paint pads as they leech the very fine hair into the paint. I've not tried every one on the market but there is a reason why they are not more popular than rollers.

Doesn't that skim and sand take ages and creates lots of dust?
Wouldn't it be easier just to get a skim done? Or if it is really poor dryline?
Also paint pad :P
