It takes me about 20min with a recent quad core system, sp2. It takes slightly longer on a linux box with a lighter cpu.

Thanks for the feedback that the dfu-util for Win32 is that much slower
on Vista. I wasn't aware of that. The changes I made to the dfu-util
source code were minimal but they could use a code review (I've posted
the diff below). On Windows XP, I've never had to wait more than 20
minutes to flash the rootfs so the issue might be related to Windows
Vista, or LibUSB-Win32 on Vista, but unfortunately, I do not have

Re: Flashing Om2008.8 rootfs under Windows is *LONG*
FWIW, I have a laptop with 2gig ram and the host if Windows XP. I know I know, but for work that's what I need. So I use the free http://virtualbox.org and run a virtualized Ubuntu on my Windows XP SP3 box, but I'm sure it is fine in Vista also. That way one does not have to shutdown one or the other. However to be honest I have not yet bothered to setup usb connect to my FR this way (just lazy) as it so happens to be actually easier to plug it into one of my other machines on my home network which runs ubuntu natively and I just ssh across to the other machine that way.
