USB flash memory for compiling code

[IGeorgeI]

Has anybody ever compiled code using USB flash memory? If so, is it faster? Also If I am shopping for USB memory, what are the things to look for? What are the main diff between brands? Any good educational sites on this subject? Any help appreciated George W Software Developer www.zsystems.ca

I have CF readers/writers, but they are slower (and smaller) than local hard drives, even if I have no other USB devices connected. Steve S
