Can't begin to say how many times i've had 10% extra coin and then I send it to SR only to have it take 1.5 hours and the market changes and I gotta go get more coin..... speed it up

SR has a built in tumbler. Maybe you should just buy extra coins to cover fluctuations instead of complaining.

Yeah I know what your saying, I learned my lesson after that happened a few times. Now I just buy extra so I dont have to worry about that.

1.5 hours? There's not a way to "speed it up" on Silk Road's end of things. It takes 6 blockchain confirmations before it shows up, and that is relatively standard web-wide. The time it takes to get those 6 confirmations depends entirely on the speed of the blockchain network, which has nothing to do with Silk Road. There is also a built-in coin tumbler to anonymize incoming bitcoins, but that doesn't add much time unless there are delays present.
Still, 1.5 hours is very common. It usually takes 1-2 hours, even when there are no delays, and that is determined by the bitcoin/blockchain network - not Silk Road.
