Firewire is capable of that... Latency and system load are still worse than with native PCI/PCIe solutions in current implementations, no matter what Firewire is theoretically capable of.

Yes, that's broken by design. Something that even can be seen on recent notebooks. Maybe we should start a list of notebooks with proper interrupt setup to inform people *before* buying a new machine. What would be a good place for this?
