if you're using a microsd for /usr/src you'll get better performance [1]
with a usb stick. if swap is needed, format the usb stick to have the
swap.

[1] microsd is slow media for writing. usb2 is faster, spinning rust
might be even faster (it certainly is for rpi4/usb3 spinning rust)
[2] anything fast writing small files needs this, or a mfs, on rpi[2,3]
like git or svn. The problem never happens on rpi4/usb3-hd/100Mbit.
