there is really no reason for such slowness on the iphone, except for  
maybe big security nonsense combined with ultra-power-saving modes,  
and frankly i see no reason why not to make software installs as slow  
and safe as possible if you are going to have really serious lockdown  
code engineered and implemented (For Whatever Reason-tm 2008 jv).   
keep in mind a lot of the apps are *huge* in iphone terms, also, and  
yes the NAND is not really as fast nor as yummy as you might have on / 
your/ particular keychain SD-card fob .. this is why apple and its  
partners are profitable businesses sustaining millions of people &etc..
