The extra time used is due to an inline wait loop in the code, to make things 
simple.

You can try the following experimental patch:

Edit: /sys/dev/usb2/_ehci.c

Lookup the following piece of code:

        if(((xfer->pipe->methods == &ehci_device_ctrl_methods) ||
            (xfer->pipe->methods == &ehci_device_bulk_methods)) &&
           (sc->sc_doorbell_disable == 0))
        {
                u_int32_t to = 100*1000;

                /* wait for doorbell ~32us */
                EOWRITE4(sc, EHCI_USBCMD, 
                         EOREAD4(sc, EHCI_USBCMD) | EHCI_CMD_IAAD);

                while(EOREAD4(sc, EHCI_USBCMD) & EHCI_CMD_IAAD)
                {
                    if(!to--)
                    {
                        printf("%s: doorbell timeout "
                               "(disabling)\n", __FUNCTION__);
                        sc->sc_doorbell_disable = 1;
                        break;
                    }
                    DELAY(1);
                }
                need_delay = 0;
        }

Change it to:

        if(((xfer->pipe->methods == &ehci_device_ctrl_methods) ||
            (xfer->pipe->methods == &ehci_device_bulk_methods)) &&
           (sc->sc_doorbell_disable == 0))
        {
                u_int32_t to = 100*1000;

       if (error != 0) { /* simply add an "if"-statement */

                /* wait for doorbell ~32us */
                EOWRITE4(sc, EHCI_USBCMD, 
                         EOREAD4(sc, EHCI_USBCMD) | EHCI_CMD_IAAD);

                while(EOREAD4(sc, EHCI_USBCMD) & EHCI_CMD_IAAD)
                {
                    if(!to--)
                    {
                        printf("%s: doorbell timeout "
                               "(disabling)\n", __FUNCTION__);
                        sc->sc_doorbell_disable = 1;
                        break;
                    }
                    DELAY(1);
                }
                need_delay = 0;
            }
        }

Then recompile the kernel and try again.

Thanks for testing.
