Is it any better than writing videos to the hard disk? Will it increase the performance? Should I invest in a USB stick with high writing speed?

It will NOT improve performance. You're looking at needing to maintain 5-6mbyte/sec, 10 at MOST. It's not enough to make saving to a USB stick worthwhile.
And that's before you get into the low capacity of the sticks vs how much you're going to use them.

If you want to buy something, buy a huge hard drive. Even the slowest still-sold hard drive you can find is 10x faster than you need. If you get a 4 GB drive, for example, that's many many hours of recordings you can do.

When I made this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WURh4w5vjhk I captured over 1000 hours of gameplay at 20000kbps, and for all that, one 4GB hard drive wasn't enough. :)
