A note - I had to insert the drive after Live CD was up and running, otherwise it would be 'in use', although I could not find the culprit.
So it requires the CD, and acts like the CD in speed? Is it accessing the CD when you do things?

After the install I removed CD and rebooted from USB drive, so it was not accessing CD at all. But the system responsiveness is slow, even terminal comand line has a lag. I take it as USB drive r/w speed and throughput are far from SATA HDD. On the plus side it is quiet, portable and cheap!
