macpup is a distribution of linux that you can put onto a usb stick/cd, and when you boot from usb/cd, it will put all of the system files into ram. reading from ram will ALWAYS be faster than reading from anything, even high end solid state drives.

the ubuntu that's on your usb is most likely a live-cd, which is generally used for toying around with before you install to your hard drive.
Cool, ill give that a shot.

Thank you
