32G wifi iPad, 3.2.1, 13" MacBook Pro to sync with. Just a regular sync takes not even 30 seconds unless it's updating a bunch of apps.
 
It takes good 6 hours for me and I suspect it has something to do with my hobby of constantly trying out apps and causing the contents change all the time... I rarely backup nowadays.
