we've exhausted tons of combinations and variables over the past number of days (weeks??) and i think we're coming to the conclusion that the physical USB port on the device is flaky. performance is consistently inconsistent.

the problem is that everything was running perfectly fine for several months. then one day last week the speed just dropped. so i know the hardware is capable of running at the normal speed, i'm just trying to figure out what changed and how to fix i...
