Thankyou!

Now to get back to the subject. By changing

        ep->max_transfer = usb_maxpacket(umidi->chip->dev, pipe, 1);

in the snd_usbmidi_out_endpoint_create function in usbmidi.c to:

        ep->max_transfer = 512;

.. I get a 16 fold increase in thruput.

Test data was a SysEx dump for upgrading the firmware which used take
~25 sec, now ~1.6 sec. The cute little LCD progress animation isn't
really visible anymore, but the update appears to be intact.
