It is not normal.  I do have trouble with a fast update when I use my 
USB-serial converter embedded in my Microkeyer.  It takes a long time 
(10 min.)  If I connect directly to a serial port on my laptop then I 
can upgrade in about 1 minute.

Make sure you are using a built-in serial port and not a USB-serial 
adapter or any other goofy serial port we hams are sometimes forced to use.
