The speed of iso operations cannot be changed, because the transactions 
have to occur at a specified interval.

OHCI doesn't provide any way to slow down bulk operations either, once 
a bulk URB has been submitted.  The best you can do is slow down the 
rate of submission.  But you already tried that and it didn't work.

I suspect you're looking in the wrong direction.  There's probably 
something wrong at a deeper level, in the chipset drivers for instance.
