Are you running LL in 'live mode'? If so it will be slow and you would need to install LL to a USB device (as you would to a HDD) to see any speed increase. Also is the Dell at USB-2 speed (not USB-1) when booting from USB? I don't know that machine so someone else would have to chip in if you do not know.
I have run LL for years, installed on class 10 SDHC cards in usb readers, in effect giving dual boot without interfering with whatever is installed on the HDD. The only downside I know of is having to remember to plug in the reader before switching on. Maybe a tutorial for this scenario would help anyone wanting to dual boot, but is afraid of destroying the system on HDD, or the installed HDD is too small for normal dual booting.
In more than 6 years of running OSs on SD cards, I have never had one fail.
HTH.
