I don't think the question is "why is it taking so long?" but rather "why does it take twice as long to program two parts even though they are using separate USB-Blasters and separate processes?"

One would naturally expect that if it takes 7 minutes to program one flash, it should take 7 minutes to program two flash in parallel.

However, it appears that the programming is not truly being done in parallel. Something is blocking.
