There were significant USB speed improvements going from the 2.4 kernel 
to 2.6, and some speed improvements after that.  I'm guessing you didn't 
go from 2.4 to 2.6 though.

Pilot-link got quicker in the 12.0 time frame and maybe some after.  If 
you use lib usb (the usb: port) that is much quicker than using a ttyUSB 
device.

I can't recall any jpilot changes which would have sped things up much.
