I have an Acer Aspire One netbook. Not sure of the exact processor details, but imagine it's similar specs to this. Only difference is mine has a HDD, not SSD. I don't run Maxim on it, but Nebulosity.
I think the fact you are using so many different USB ports on the computer is a good thing rather than all coming off one hub.
I'd be inclined to check your power settings to make sure after 2 hours hard disks etc aren't turning off or the system isn't going to sleep. Screensavers turn off etc?
Can't see it being a processor issue as there isn't much number-crunching going on. It's just image capture and download. You're not processing images at same time?
I'd think PHD is probably the most resource-hungry app running there.
One thing I'm not sure of is the SSD drive and it's write speed. Are they supposed to be quicker or slower than HDDs?
Also notice you're using TeamViewer for remote desktop. I'd suggest eliminating variables by trying things without that and do it all from the actual location.
