If you prefer that route, to make it even faster you could
additionally make use of the bmaptool:

I've used it with the i.MX53 QSB and the improvement was noticeable.

I found it hard to get the image to be exactly the right size. There
was always a little room left-over (or the image would be too big and
wouldn't copy over to the card). This method doesn't (I don't think)
support a flexible partition layout, just the generic 2-partition
FAT+EXTx.
