Because something is electronic it should be instantaneous?
USB is a *serial* bus, dialog goes between the USB stick and the computer over the host controller interface and appears to the operating system as a SCSI device.
So
(a) there are a number of layers and translations going on
(b) the protocol is still serial, hence each bit transferred takes a finite time.
Is it USB 1.1 or USB 2.0?
You don't have to use FAT32 with USB sticks.
