Well, for most of the flash drives (two no name 4G drives, 8G SanDisk 
Cruzer), I couldn't even get the install finished.  There would usually 
be some sort of error in the installation process.  For the ones I did 
get installed to, yes, I did all of that.  No swap, noatime, moved logs 
and such to tmpfs.  But even though they worked fine, they were too 
small for what I wanted to install (2G SanDisk Cruzer was fastest, 
another 2G no name worked, but slowly).  Mostly I think what put me over 
the limit was the theme cache.  I toyed with the idea of moving it to an 
NFS mount, but didn't.
