I dry mine inside out. That way the part that touches the skin is dry first for the next dive on a sunny day. Most of the time that I am diving the suit doesn't get a chance to dry except over night. I have the 7/5mm full. I don't have any problems with the suit not keeping me warm. I dive with mine in late december when the water is 50* at the surface and 42* not too far down. My problem is my hands and feet will get too cold to do more than 1 or 2 dives.

I will somewhat buck the trend of the prior posts to say yes, definitely, the Hyperstretch takes a relatively long time to dry. I say this owning a 3mm jumpsuit, and being very satisfied with it. Compared however to my wife's 3mm Goldcore, it takes much longer to dry. For me, that typically means hanging overnight, versus a couple of hours. The material of the hyperstretch seems more porous. I also think the suit is less bouyant for the same reason, as well as because it compresses more at depth. I think the tradeoff for the comfort and good fit are worth it for me.
