Yuck!  Can't think of any reason why it should be so slow, must be how they 
have implemented reception of the acknowledge characters sent back from the 
programmer.  Maybe try setting the FIFO level on the serial port to 1 byte 
on receive?

I use uisp in a cygwin environment on win2k, you'll need to specify 
-dserial=/dev/comX where X = the com port number.
