PCMCIA -> Compact Flash for readyboost

I'd like to use Readyboost for a a laptop, but the onboard SD reader is too slow, and USB is too inconventient. That leaves either a 50mm mini-pcie ssd (expensive + questionable compatibility), or some kind of PCMCIA (PC-Card) device that this laptop has, such as an SD or CF reader card. Some of the CF cards are quite fast, at around 90MB/s read. The reader cards can be had on ebay for a few bucks, but they give no specs as to whether they would even support those speeds; I could end up with a slow controller like the onboard Ricoh-hole.

Anybody have any ideas?

Ideally I'd just buy a good SSD, but I'd need a fairly large one and that's just too expensive right now. Note that the reason why I have a storage bottleneck is because I use VMs constantly and those chew up memory and disk IO; I'd like to have readyboost on both the host and virtual windows OSs, where possible.
