We've been running MHP/DSM-CC using the v2/v3 API on 50-100MHz ARM925 
cores, so this should not really be the bottleneck.

The problem is that there have been some reports on this list before 
that said the OHCI-USB/Isochronous transfer implementation did not 
worked on a MIPS-based router, so this may become a problem for you as 
well. I don't know if these issues are resolved, maybe you want to check 
the mail archives to be sure.
