Your short cable is defective. Throw it out. There is no such thing as
a USB 2.0 cable except a marketing hype label. If you visit the
official USB specifications site <http://www.usb.org/home> you will
discover that in the progression from USB 1.0 to 1.1 to 2.0 there has
never been a change in the spec for cables.
I suspect that the cable has a bad connection and the system is quietey
doing a zillion retries to get the data.
