Speed up sync?
Speed up iTunes sync of your iPhone or Touch by only selectively sending diagnostic data to Apple|Gear Diary

ymmv, I didn't see any perceptible difference.

Or if you don't like prefpanes... the Terminal way is here
Quote:
1. - Quit iTunes.
2. - Open Terminal.app
3. - Copy and paste this in, then hit return:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true

4. - Open iTunes
5. - Plug in your iPhone (2.0 or 3G) and sync.

It will take a few seconds, assuming you don’t have a ton of music or podcasts.

Changing the ‘true’ in step 3 to ‘false’ will re-enable the backup feature.
