Agreed entirely. That's what motivated me to buy Sandisk Extreme
USB 3.0 flash drives. As an aside, I think using the very same grade
of microSD cards (not outrageously expensive) solved, or mostly solved,
the problem when using a single large filesystem on one microSD with
no usb drives at all. That particular system is disturbed as little
as possible, so its subversion performance isn't well-explored.
