I’m not sure who told you that an installation on a USB thumb drive should boot “almost instantly” - that’s a much slower device than a proper HDD or SSD, and it’s normal for booting off of those to at least take a bit of time.

A fast CPU helps run computations quickly, but installing and launching programs involves a lot of writing and reading files, which doesn’t have much to do with CPU speed.
