Generally speaking, NAND is fairly slow at writing, but read speeds aren't that bad. There will be a small performance penalty for running off the SD card, but I guess if you have a fast enough SD card, then you might see better performance. Another downside to running off the SD card will be lower battery life since the SD interface is always running.

I've not seen any benchmarks of running things on the NAND vs SD card, but it all depends on the the flash memory that is used and how it was implemented.
