I recall Peter Cremer (U-333: the Story of a U-Boat Ace) pointing out that the required standard in training (as conducted in the Baltic) was to go from surfaced to 20m in 25 seconds (pretty sure that's right but I can check), so I think the dive time for the type VII is possibly a little long if anything.
Through the various sub config files, I'm guessing? It'd be nice to have a crash depth a little shallower. And I'd love to get under in 25 seconds. Even if the IX's were fast for their size, it's still damn slow when you can see the planes angling down for their dive :p
