Hi Dave,

Stefan Burger reported a similar problem with that commit.  However,
I'm puzzled what would be causing such a regression - five seconds
should be more then enough time to complete a single usb transaction.

Do you have serial debugging (or similar) available on the device you
are working with?  If you could provide the output from the debugging
patch below it may help diagnose the issue.

I also got my Acer c720 back, and will run some tests on it.
