For PPS, you are interested in latency rather than throughput.
The problem is that nobody makes any RS232-USB2 gizmos. They are all USB 1.
If you plug a USB1 device into a USB2 port, it operates in a downgraded mode.
If anybody knows about RS232-USB2 devices, please let me/us know about them.
It would be an interesting experiment.
