Dryer or vent clogged, how can I figure it out

Just moved into townhome and the dryer doesn't dry a load of towels on
high heat within the maximum time, 50 minutes. For troubleshooting
purposes, what should I look for and/or tests that I should do to tell
if it's the dryer or if the vent is clogged?
Define: "load". A lot of people, SWMBO included, think a load
consists of "as much as I can cram in the washer" (so I do the
laundry).
Define: "dryer". Is this one of those little stackables apartment
sized units?
If the exterior dryer vent door is blowing open (or upon disconnecting
the dryer vent hose a sizeable amount of air is being discharged), and
the load is getting "hot", there's likely a short between the laundry
basket and the washer.
