AFAIK if you're using parasite power reading temperature will take this
long. The transfer does not take as much but the conversion(preparing
the data in ds1820) takes time. I have some ds18b20 and the reading
takes about a second each.
I think but I'm not sure that using external power and sending
conversion signal to all ds18b20 will shorten the reading time because
the conversion will takie place simultaneously.

And here's a question I would like to ask. Why isn't possible to use
simultaneous/temperature with parasite power? I it because after reading
the first ds18b20 and therefore pulling the line low others will loose
power?


Another idea is to use fasttemp, ds18b20 has this feature of different
resolution. Check the data sheet for details. But you wrote that you are
using ds1820 and it's an older design.
