I am not an expert, but ... AFAIK:

Switch is more inteligent than the HUB. When a hub receives a packet, it
broadcasts it to all its outputs, while the switch sends the data only to
the port which is supposed to get it. Therefore, a switch produces less
traffic.  I was not avare that this is so important with only two hosts.
