With the default settings it always seemed like it took a long time to get lock, probably 60+ seconds, but I didn't try to isolate why. It might have been as simple as needing a data connection open first before starting GPS. I recall there might have been a bug in the callback where the Qualcomm stuff asks for the data connection to be opened.

The setting is in

/system/etc/gps.conf

and it gets copied into

/data/etc/gps.conf

at boot time, so you only need to change it once at the source (and reboot)

This is what I changed

SUPL_HOST=68.28.31.49
SUPL_PORT=4503

This is what Sprint phones usually have it set to (including Touch Pro stock WM ROM) I wouldn't experiment using these settings if you are on a different carrier.

Verizon probably has their on SUPL server settings which you could look up if you were interested.
VZW'ers, try:
host: 216.198.139.92
port: 8889
