I suspect the suggestion is to put the entire test application
(program, data, swap) on the external drive. And to use the same drive on
both computers (allowing for possibly needing to rebuild the application if
the architecture is different).
That would isolate disk I/O to the single drive, and any performance
differences should then be a result of difference in processor and USB
(unless you've got an old FireWire drive <G>) support.
