Hi Stephen The USB flash drives are nowhere near SSD drives in terms of performance. Also the USB2 bus is 480mbps, your internal SATA connection is anything up to 3gb/sec.
You'll find the machine much slower than normal booting off a USB stick and should only be done if you need to repair your internal hard drive (or use the Lion recovery partition).
