These timings indicate that one packet is getting transmitted every 4 
frames.  In theory the slowness could be caused by either the host 
controller or the device, but you'd need a bus analyzer to tell which.  
Certainly there's no good reason for the controller to run that slowly, 
but there's also no good reason for the device to run that slowly only 
with OHCI.

Have you tried using a non-high-speed hub, or forcing the port into 
full speed and adding a hub?  That is, does the presence of a hub with 
OHCI make any difference?
