We have 2 issues so far
1. slow usb control messages - did you already noticed that?
2. high latency bulk requests (I have seen this issue with Linux and
MacOSX too if we don't request enough urbs at once) Seems like that
double buffering strategy with FreeBSD is a real problem now - of
course you cannot have all the hardware out there so that issue might
be new for you.
