All controllers do so and are expected to do so.  Asynchronous traffic is
not supposed to depend on a cycle master being active.

It depends on bus topology, transaction types, and more.  For a single-hop
S400 1394a bus (vulgo FireWire 400) I once calculated 44 MB/s bandwidth of
asynchronous unified write transactions:

That's at the physical layer; link layer and application layer performances
are less than that of course.
