dry it in a commercial clean room

Or, get one of those canvas cabinet and hang dry your negs,

Or, hang it in your bathroom/toilet overnight

I had that prob b4... just rewash with photoflo/wetting agent

if u are hardcore enough, get a piano heater, hang it vertically in a cabinet with the negs hanging parellel to the heater...drying time can be cut down dramatically.

but hmm
come to think of it
all the dust and scratches makes the film look -authentic-

You can always blow some dust on your CCD to give the dust effect.
