I read your post on the usb group, and your suspicion that this problem
is caused by the USB subsystem is very likely correct. The scan times
you are listing are definitely not right. You should get about the=20
same times as you list for the Windows driver. I suspect that it has
to do with your dual CPU setup.

Sorry, but I can not help to solve this problem.
