Plus remember that flash ram has a finite number of write cycles and if used by cache type systems will be constantly writing to it the life of the usb stick will be significantly reduced.

Then you start getting issues with swamping teh usb bus. Who here uses usb modems for broadband, proibably quite a few, add the read/write cycles of readyboost to the data flowing from teh net and you soon will start hitting bandwidth causing it to run even slower as teh CPU has to start dealing with data sync problems.

Simple solution, buy more RAM!

To coin a saying, - " No one ever got sacked for buying too much RAM!"
