Knoppix 8.1 flash persistent image seems really slow
Hi all,
I was working with a flash install of knoppix and it seems really slow, much slower than I would expect.
so I run a command like dpkg on knoppix running without any persistent image (just using the ram of the system) and it goes instantly.
Code:
time sudo dpkg -i mame_0.186-dmo1_i386.deb mame-data_0.186-dmo1_all.deb
Selecting previously unselected package mame.

If I run with a persistent hard drive image, I get snappy results also.
However, when I use a flash drive it's a different story.
Running the same command under a persistent flash drive it takes forever...

Why is flash so slow? I wouldn't expect it to take multiple minutes to do these things. 6 minutes seems like an eternity.
Is it because it wants to journalize everything with reiserfs?
