I have the same snapshot building world with swap, var, tmp and usr on a
Sandisk SDCZ80-064G usb stick. Swap is 3 GB, in 3 partitions of 1 GB each.
A -j4 buildworld is running, it's apt to finish shortly.  Running a similar 
test couldn't hurt if no better ideas come along. Adding swap to the microSD
card would put you a step ahead of me.

If you could get your hands on a Sandisk SDCZ800-064G it would be especially
interesting; that's the usb stick that started this goosechase.

Hopefully somebody will have better ideas....
