Found you SPI page which had the write then read command listed. So I did a quick hack (see below) where I used that mode instead of Bulk SPI. Seems to be down to a couple of seconds above 1minute, which kind of also puzzles me. I'm calculating the max speed in my case at 115200,1 start and 1 stop to 2048*1024/(115200/10)/60~3minutes (what do I miss??). Here is the run:
date;./flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/ttyACM0,spispeed=1M -r spidmp10;date

flashrom v0.9.5-r1504 on Linux 3.0.0-17-generic-pae (i686), built with libpci 3.0.0, GCC 4.4.3, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found ST flash chip "M25P16" (2048 kB, SPI) on buspirate_spi.

This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: ERASE WRITE
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org if any of the above operations
work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom
output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V, -Vr,
-VE, -Vw), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.
Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help!
Reading flash... done.

I also did a printout from flashrom about the clock setting and it seems to be correct (8M->0x67 and 4M->0x66). My scope indicates that 4M and 8M doesn't work though, so it seems to be a problem in the firmware.
