If I shutdown and reboot into the live USB without persistence the response time is greatly improved. Thinking it might have something to do with the 64GB capacity, I repeated the process using a 16 GB USB 2.0 thumb drive. When booting with persistence it still seems sluggish though maybe not as bad as the 64 GB thumb drive.
Is this normal behavior when running persistence? Anyone else seeing this?
