I have no idea if this would be feasible, but would it be possible to load the contents of the flash drive to a ram drive before booting, then boot from that? It would take a while copying the flash to ram, but after that it should have more bandwidth than the fastest SATA drives even on a RAID 0. Again, I'm a complete noob when it comes to boot time and kernel stuff. If I were to guess I'd say it'd probably be done before grub somehow, the way bootable CDs can boot to a menu before booting to a hard drive.
