The usb stack in 4.9 is the same as that in 4.7 and so I'd expect no
improvements.  Please check the -stable mail list for a post by me a
month or so ago with a patch that brings the -current USB stack into
stable.  I would expect that to be much better.  We missed getting it
into 4.9, but it will be committed to RELENG_4 as soon as the 4.9 tag
have been laid down.
