AW: Re: Portable installed system that boots in UEFI as well as BIOS mode

[Israel]

Ok, thanks for the info!!
It might still be worth considering for some devices... but maybe simply 
decreasing the compression of the filesystem on the drive will speed up 
the access times ...
I haven't even tried running this yet, but I have noticed Ubuntu Live 
images are slower than some other live images and I think that is 
related to the compression of the squashfs...
Just throwing out some ideas....  thanks again for the clarification!!
