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.

It would be faster, but note that eMMC is the worst kind of solid state drive out there and you should replace it as soon as possible, or at least don't store anything critical on it.
