I think your rants about how slow the USB disk fobs are may be a
little inaccurate.

Linux has a built in 5 second delay while it "waits for the device to settle"

In an upcoming product we use a custom USB stack and I've used it with
plenty (so far 10 different mfgs) of disk fobs that are ready for use
after a 500mS reset.

I bet there was some old usb key that was a little slow and someone
stuck a way overkill delay in there to be safe.

Perhapas we should set that delay to 0 and see how many fobs still work.
