Can I create a live USB (16GB) containing Ubuntu 11.10 and will it work fine?

The other day I tried to create a live USB (16gb) using a pen drive, but the performance was not smooth and/or fast. How can I overcome this issue? It would be cool if I can use 16GB USB seamlessly and without getting stuck. Please help.
