no, live usb. On my computer, the same image is much slower from usb flash card than from real cd

No, it's not. USB "drives" are very often dog slow when it comes to writing. Running a Live USB stick mounts the free space on the stick RW and writes there.
A live CD writes only to ramfs, which is very fast.
I have made a feature request to openfate long ago where I suggested to make a live image that boots from USB and even totally toram as an option. I did not get much support I guess. In hopes that someone would have become interested, vote: https://features.opensuse.org/311011 I'm still very much in favor of it, I'd make it myself, but I haven't got the skills to do that. It could be for example equipped with LXDE and possibility to download more software as needed and within space on the stick. Of course it also has an installer in it. DamnSmallLinux works that way and It is _lightning_ fast on a machine with 128 MB RAM and a 300 MHz proc.
