Is there a reason this won't work?
I suspect that speeding up /usr won't help improve performance that much. The applications, which seem to be sluggish, deal with a lot of user data in /home. Furthermore, this user data varies a lot with time, hence it is not that good idea to store it in SSD. I liked more the idea of using a RAID scheme. --- Omer -- My Commodore 64 is suffering from slowness and insufficiency of memory; and its display device is grievously short of pixels.
