You may find your level of daily bliss rises if you find the "sleep 3" in some /etc/hotplug/usb.* file and comment it out ... it slows down at least the hotplug steps. (*)

That's a partial workaround for a UHCI problem on 2.4 kernels
(it doesn't queue control requests).  The problem goes away
on 2.6 kernels, and the latest hotplug scripts shouldn't even
try it on the 2.6 kernels.

(*) And I must be getting impatient lately, "sleep 3" feels
    like a lot more than 3 seconds.  The "devlabel" stuff
    seems to create extra (and often pointless) load, that
    might explain part of it.

    I remember when we shipped 2.4, there was no question that
    we hotplugged a _lot_ faster than Windows did!
