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.
