Yea, I can see the massive difference it is making by your original post.
Your entire system becomes laggy, I admit, that's quite a massive
difference.

Actually yes it *can* be bad.
Flash memory is by magnitudes slower than RAM. Adding it to a system as a
substitute for RAM helps with systems around 512 megs of RAM or so that'd
otherwise be constantly writing to the HDD instead. And even there,
improvements can't really be guaranteed.
If you already have 1.5 gigs of RAM, you're looking at next to nothing to
gain by adding Flash memory.
Even on systems where ready boost has been reported to actually give some
improvements, any improvements started to disappear at the 1 gig mark on
any benchmarks I've seen so far.
