Just today, I decided to transport all of my Minecraft files to a USB and run it using MultiMC (so I could play it on a school computer. ) Everything works perfectly, but every few seconds(I estimate around 10 seconds or so), Minecraft completely freezes for 2 seconds. I'm guessing that this is because Minecraft can't load the world fast enough off of my flash drive, which uses USB 2.0 and is pitifully slow(23 MB/s read, 9 MB/s write). My question is, is there anything I can do to solve it? Maybe there's a way to load a large area then not load more until I'm very close to an unloaded chunk? Or is there some way to improve loading speed altogether?
My specs:
Intel Core i7-3630qm Quad Core @ 2.4 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT650m 2 GB GDDR5, OC'd +135/+600
16 GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
128 GB mSATA SSD
750 GB 7200RPM HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
4 GB USB 2.0 flash drive, which I'm running Minecraft off of
Why would you even want to play minecraft during school? School is when you learn, not play videogames.
The problem is you have a 2.0 USB. These are much slower than the newer USBS, which cause slower loading and more lagspikes. Either get a newer USB, or just don't bring minecraft to school.

Not at all. USB 2.0 has a max data transfer rate of 480Mbps, which is something that not even most USB 3.0 devices approach.
Unless you can find a flash drive with some ridiculous write speed, it's not going to make any difference.

Couldn't you just copy it to the computer when you're playing, then copy it back to the flash drive when you're done?
OptiFine changes the saving interval to something like every three minutes, which might help.
I would copy it back and forth, but my account on my school's server only has 500mb and my whole MultiMC folder is something like 989MB. I'll look into the Optifine saving, though.

What would be an ideal read/write speed for Minecraft save files? I just wonder because it's a possibility that I may be getting a new flash drive very soon.

You could just copy the saves you wanted at that one time.

I'm not sure of an exact number, sorry.

Turns out, the other computers don't allow applications to be run from flash drives. Which means I can only copy the entire folder over. (I have a lot of mods, which was what was taking up so much space in the first place)
Anyways, if anyone has a solution, I would still appreciate it as I may have to do this in the future.
