I run my daily machine from a USB-Stick for years now without any 
problems. I simply installed to the USB-Stick and not to the HDD. Of 
course, USB3 is highly recommended over USB2. Nevertheless, USB2 does 
also work for me and I am also using it daily.
My most important finding on system responsiveness is that minimum 2 MB 
CPU cache is required, and at least 3 MB is wanted. This parameter to me 
came out to be the most significant one to consider. Besides this, 4 
years ago (I did not compare it recently) the usage of the GNOME desktop 
slowed down responsiveness strongly and I therefore decided for KDE 
Plasma which does not make me any problems on an almost 10 years old 4 
GB RAM and Intel Core2Duo CPU hardware.
Good luck!
Marco.
