vp7045 does not have PID-filters.
I think difference comes from different USB-transfer settings. vp7045 
uses BULK packet size 4096 and af9015 uses BULK packet size 512 for 
USB2.0 and BULK packet size 64 for USB1.1. Therefore af9015 sends 8 
times more packets than vp7045 (I guess).

One thing more you can test - use USB1.1. To force USB1.1 remove USB2.0 
driver by rmmod ehci_hcd. After that plug af9015 stick and look from 
logs it detects USB1.1 and uses PID-filters. af9015 driver now uses 
smaller packet size for transfer that can change load (bigger?).
