Move to a good USB 3 stick (closer to SSD technology) or a harddrive and database operations will be insanely faster, as high or higher than the numbers we see with f2fs.Are you saying that, as a class, usb3 sticks have faster memory? If not, I don't see how there would be a benefit over USB2, as the pi' USB interface is usb2, so the faster interface would not help.
Yes much faster! It doesn't matter if your RPi interface is usb2 there's a massive difference.

No problem ill find you links from anandtech tomshardware, etc if you can't find them yourself.
I'm not gonna rewrite the articles but things like asyncron signaling ie. read/writes in full-duplex on USB 3 sticks instead of half-duplex ie. USB 2 memory can only write or read at the same time is a start. USB 3 can do both. It also has more memory pipelines like SSD. Anyway I'm a bad English speaking Dane so I think its better and more believable so find you the actual benchmarks.
