Whats is the simple methord to transfer my noobs sd card setup to a usb drive. I am hoping this will make things run more faster. correct me if I am wrong.My noobs card is only 4gb so I want to transfer to a usb 3.0 32gb usb stick. I am also finding loading/caching library also slow on mashup etc.
I overclocked it yesterday and found it to be a little faster, is there anything else I could do to speed things up?

if it's an addon that's slow, the only thing you can probably do is overclock. A USB stick/drive won't help - depends a little though on how the addon works and is coded. Many addons do very ugly things that do not show any slowdown on the PC the devs are coding on or a moderate HTPC, but are very noticable on low power devices such as the PI. So in addition to overclocking your PI, ping the addon author and ask if there could be something optimized in the addon.

A bit more information about your setup might help. What version of xbmc are you using? Whats your current over-clock? Is mash-up the only addon thats slow?

unless you haven't set "force_turbo=1" in your config, the overclocking will be on demand, so seeing 700 Mhz just means that CPU is idle and has clocked down again to it's default.

Yes, this is correct. Dynamic overclocking, which is what you are doing, only turns up the clock speed when its needed. When it's not processing/not needed, the Pi automatically backs the speed down. This isn't a problem, it's designed to be this way.
My server runs @2.95Ghz but when it's idle, it clocks back to 800Mhz.
