We've been making various optimizations, and the next update (4.0.2) will
be significantly faster (so far, for USB, we are seeing around a 1.8x
increase).

In general, factors are speed of handheld (OS 4 devices are WAY slower than
OS 5 devices), speed of transport (USB is faster than WiFi which is faster
than BlueTooth), and last would be speed/load of Mac.

There are other factors that are conduit specific. For example, our backup
conduit has an option to back up ALL databases, which obviously would take
longer than skipping ones that don't have the backup bit set (the default,
as well as the only way to do it with Palm Desktop).
