Disabling or enabling the IrDA discovery doesn't have any effect for me.
After looking at the protocol a bit more, it seems related to whether
the laptop assumes the role of primary or secondary station during
connection negociation with the palm, like described in the irLAP protocol
(IrDA is half-duplex, so a secondary is authorized to speak on the link
by the primary). hotsync is reasonably fast only when the laptop is the
primary station.
