There's an issue in the OmniFocus for iPhone 1.0.2 and earlier which causes the sync process to take longer than it should. We'll have a fix in the 1.0.3 release, but for the time being, you'll want to do the following to work around the problem.

Sync all your desktop computers, then run the attached applescript attached to this post on whichever Mac has the most up-to-date info.
(You can run an applescript by opening the "Script Editor" application, opening the script file, and pressing the "Run" button.)
Next, open up your iDisk (or whichever location you're storing your sync database at) and rename that copy of the OmniFocus database to "OmniFocus-Old".
(This allows you to revert to the data at some point in the future if necessary.)
Sync from the same machine you ran the applescript on.
Launch OmniFocus on your phone and start a sync; when asked whether to use the 'local' or 'server' copy, choose 'server'.

Your syncs should now take a reasonable amount of time again.
