POSE has a lot of debugging options that may be slowing things down; you
could try turning some of them off. I haven't used the hotsync feature
much, but didn't notice any dramatic speed problems with it, nor any
IO-Error messages. IIRC serial port emulation has been improved with recent
releases; the unstable archive has pose 3.2.
