On the other hand it depends on the type of drive as to how much of a performance boost you get from the beginning.

Some factors include;
Read/Write speed.

Type of memory/ i.e. MLC( multilayercompact) SLC( singlelayercompact)
Whether or not the device is manufactured ( ReadyBoost Enhanced)
USB type.
Overall system specs. FSB/Chipset/Bandwidth.
