Ahum. Congrats to sudodus then. :))

I read in
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb#Installation
  "The main function of dus-iso2usb is to
   1. extract the first partitions and the grub structure from compressed
      image files
   2. create new partitions, one for an iso file labeled 'isodevice',
      and one optional for persistence labeled 'writable' (or in older
      systems labeled 'casper-rw').
   3. copy iso file to 'isodevice' and add some tweaks.
   "

So this indicates that GRUB alone is not to blame for the slow booting.
Something in the ISO's partitioning or GRUB configuration is needed for
the problem.

What do you get reported about the USB stick partitions by fdisk -l ?

I wonder what is meant by "add some tweaks".

Have a nice day :)
