I don't know if that's USB-2.0 or something else.. - The same goes for
the statement that "USB devices should perform better if the sample
rate is divisible by the period size". I cannot find any evidence that
supports that statement.

As with all complex systems, I trust measurements more than theory:

  http://robin.linuxaudio.org/tmp/vsl1818latency.png

(x-axis are permutations of jackd's -p, -n, --sync parameters,
no x-runs with either configuration but it's just jackd + jack_delay,
no load).

[Surprisingly]? the latency increments are not quantized to
milliseconds (as the USB protocol implementation would suggest it should).
