What are scorers using for the OS - Win 98? Me? My XP computers find and
display a USB drive in 5-6 seconds vs 4-5 seconds for an SD card, not
enough time to go that country mile, even with 50 entrants. Does the
problem come from having 50 different USB drives, instead just 5 or 6
different ones?

Leo (Buckley) could tell you more, but afaik he doesn't read r.a.s.
On his system -- I've watched this -- SD cards are recognized much
faster than USB drives. If we all used USB drives with identical
drivers it would probably be a non-issue.
