Over on Howardforums I just read a posting by user Lightbrazer that he claims can significantly shorten the time to sync and backup your iPhone or Touch. According to the message, iPhone and Touch devices may be taking a long time because during the initial iTunes setup, the user checked an option to ALWAYS upload diagnostic (aka Crash) info to Apple. This option sends crash reports to Apple automatically - which depending upon server load could potentially take a while to deliver and therefore greatly increasing your perceived sync/backup times.
I tried this change with my iPhone setup (iPhone 3G) and while I never had a super slow sync problem - it seemed to speed things up quite a bit. Unlike other tricks which involve disabling the backup process (not smart imho), there does not seem to be any danger to this change because all you’re doing is reseting an option so when the iPhone or Touch syncs you are asked if you want to send anonymous diagnostic (crash) information to Apple. Simply click “No” and the sync may proceed much faster because it no longer automatically tries to upload that data. Instead during the sync you’ll be asked if you want to upload the anonymous data. Give it a try - instructions on the next page.
