Hello, does this give any big performance increase? Is it worth it?

Look here:

If you follow the instructions at that link Windows will not work properly.
Setting the TEMP/TMP environment variables to point to a removable drive is
a very bad idea.

The answer is "It depends". It depends on many things - How much RAM do you
have? How fast is the flash drive? How do you use your computer? The last
question is the one that's not easy to answer. Everyone uses a computer
slightly differently. The best answer is to try it on your system and see if
it makes a difference.

So you like Windows7?

I should get it as soon as it's out... OEM version & a new HP or Dell laptop
need to make money!!!!

Get a FAST thumb drive, only one I recommend is the SanDisk
Titanium which is FAST. Get a 4 gig or bigger, set ReadyBoost
2 to 2.5 times your RAM up to the max which is 4 gig. You can
use rest of drive, say from an 8 gig, as storage.

It really smoothes things out and particularly helps if you run a lot
of programs and or have big programs and/or huge files.

If the drive is NOT exceptionally fast you will be disappointed.
