Hi Dave,

Sure, I somewhat understand your concerns about the timeout change,
but we responded to an email form you over a week ago and never
received a reply regarding our viewpoint.  It was sent to your
personal email address as well as to the public linux-usb list.
Please refer to the email titled "[PATCH 5/5] EHCI: fix performance
regression" dated Wed, May 21, 2008 at 12:02 PM.  In that email, we
state that it doesn't make sense to reduce the timeout to 3ms and we
still don't have a full understanding of why increasing it to 10 ms is
such a bad idea.

While we had initially been discussing this bug with you over private
emails, once we lost touch with you, we resolved it in close
collaboration with Alan.  We have spent many tens of hours working on
this bug with Alan.  We'd appreciate the ability to stay in the loop
with any technical issues pertaining to and arising from the patch,
and to have our concerns properly responded to.

-Leonid
