Are we talking about the driver compiled under 2.2 or 2.4?
I know we have a timing issue under 2.4 and I hope it is related 
to changes in the underlying parport layer. 

Under 2.4 the driver becomes somehow  sluggish without debugging 
turned on (sic!) - which means that the overall reaction becomes
faster if some loops slow down.
