What is the performance difference between live booting from a USB pen, and installed on an eMMC drive? (lemmy.ca)

I am not quite ready to switch to a GNU/Linux yet, but I have live booted Linux Mint Xfce yesterday, with most things working, but much worse for launching times, etc. Would it be any different if I installed it on my eMMC drive? Since they are both based on NAND flash memory, I am clueless about it.

I suspect the usb storage has a much worse or at least much more variable latency profile. Control frames on usb3 are a whole .125ms apart
