As far as I can tell, the big blockage occurs when the machine has to 
analyze an input report from which it extracts 767 fields and ends up 
calling hid_process_event about 2300 times.  Since each call takes 
around 60-80 microseconds, you end up with a very large latency.

Why on earth are you using such enormous HID reports?

That's okay, since it's meant only for testing.
