In addition to Florian's tip, you can also remove the delay completely by mounting with sync option. This may negatively impact performance. Alternatively you can leave it caching as normal and then issue the "sync" command when you're done doing your USB operations and it'll flush remaining data to the flash drive immediately. (I think unmount/eject will do this too.) That's what I usually do.
