Technically both operate at down to 1/8ms.

Linux's USB 2.0 ehci driver doesn't go there and limits isochronous
transfer granularity at 1ms.
I posted a patch to linux-usb-devel, which enables 1/8ms granularity
isochronous transfer.
There was exactly 0 answer to it.
And I was too lazy to follow up on that ;-)

Regarding Firewire: I guess the "new stack" can operate at
1/8ms granularity.
