(I use linux, Debian). See if I can spend some days on hacking :-) > 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 ) support. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
