First I have to say thanks, I've asked for some really basic help and have made progress! But I had to make my own MPSSE layer to be able to easily switch between linux <-> windows.
I used c++ so I could make an ILink interface (basic read/write) wrapper around either the d2xx drivers from ftdi or libftdi. They both work great! However I managed to gain about 140 ms per transaction (40ms to read 8k bytes, 180ms after I made the mpsse layer). It appears to be in libftdi itself, ftdi_read_data takes much longer, so I'm not sure my init is incorrect since I basically copied an example I found somewhere. My co-workers have proven to be kind of useless for asking for help, I know it's something I did though since I can revert to just prior to my new layer and its 40ms. Once I updated its 180ms. Its driving me nuts because everything I fire down the pipe to the ftdi chip appears to be the same with the usb sniffer, and my configuration for libftdi seems to be identical. I'm missing something and I'm not sure where it is. If anyone is willing to review some code, I'd be happy to email it. -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
