I am not sure of this is relevant
for people with low ram or other resources.
Mostly Puppy is designed to go into and run from ram
what of the boot source . . .
It may trigger some ideas, especially for developers

Optimizing Linux with cheap flash drives
I get the notion that them are talking about flash drives that one use to replace HDD so one instead have SSD while when I think of a Flash drive I think of small USB memory Pendrives or Thumbs or Memstick or even SD cards in an adapter or you have them in a Smartphone. These are smaller than a thumb while the text you links to talk about drives that are 2.5" or something
But I guess the text is important because it will get more and more popular I guess when them go low in price.

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Another use of cheap pen/flashdrives, is in a powered [yes, powered seem more reliable in my experience] USB 2.0 hub and setup as a raid for a combined fast access drive
Experiments I did with some cheap 1gb drives yielded times iro 32Mb/s...similar to the speed from an OCZ rally2, but without the cost!
Makes a very fast swap partition for any OS

The recommended raid software is mdadm, which seems to have been abandoned in 2004.....but there are probably others
