Ah. I haven't looked into them, because I don't intend to get a Pi, but 
I've heard reports that the USB driver, or stack, or perhaps controller, 
is flaky on the Pi. (Pun intended.) I would not expect to get a lot of 
bandwidth out of it, esp. with a large number of devices connected.

I could have sworn there was documentation for this, but I can't find it.
