Please, be more precise. What do you mean by "too long"? Is is an
order of magnitude longer that time corresponding to the declared
speed of your USB interface? Is the interface in your computer USB 1
or USB 2? Is your USB key connected to the rear panel (ie directly to
the motherboard) or to the front panel?
