Journalling, etc, on the other hand, writes to disk more often than simple user activity does.

I don't really know.  I'd like to think that since they do sell solid 
state drives, the technology is there to make this a non-issue.  But I 
wouldn't count on that Microcenter brand flash stick to last a long time.
