"sync" option in fstab for USB memory stick

Wrote a 26 MB file (using cp) to my Sandisk minicruiser (USB 2.0) memory
stick, it took 17 minutes! Seemed to be a LITTLE SLOW :), so I started
looking for the reason and found it in the fstab entry, it was the
"sync" option.
When I mounted the stick without the sync option the cp + a single sync
to flush the data to the device took 10 seconds.
Can someone tell me how to change the automagically generated fstab entry?
Thanks,
John
