Tested docker save and docker load, for writing/reading Docker image to/from disk.
I didn't test on USB stick, only on internal SSD on my host machine.
Took 5 minutes to output to gzip on disk (only maintainers need to do this), 1 minute to load gzip back to Docker (users need to do this).
For reference, the read speed of SanDisk 32GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive USB is 100 MB/s.
My SSD's write speed is 727 MB/s, read speed is 8.3 GB/s :sweat_smile:
$ sudo /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3

Soooooooooo we should test on those USBs to get a better estimate.
