USB isochronous interfaces guarantee timely delivery. You can also reserve bandwidth so other traffic doesn't affect it. Latency is "bounded" but I don't have figures on what the actual bounds are. (USB 1.1 had 1msec frames and USB 2.0 has microframes at 1/8th of that... so you can get a feel) Now -- given a crappy device driver and all bets are off.
