Shut of the water to the faucet.

Why does it take 90 seconds to get hot water from tank to faucet?
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.

Why does hot water turn into ice faster?
Probably because it flows through several feet of uninsulated metal pipe to get from the water heater to the faucet. After you're done using hot water and you shut the faucet, all the hot water in that pipe cools quickly, and then, next time you want some hot water, you have to wait for all of that water in the pipe to come through the faucet, before any hot water from the heater reaches you. The cure: Get some foam pipe wrap from any home-improvement store and wrap it around the hot-water pipes. Then when the pipe is full of hot water, it'll take longer for that water to cool off.
