Their FAQ ( http://www.intel.com/support/galileo/faq.htm ) has this
dispiriting news:

What is the maximum rate at which GPIO output pins can be updated?

The GPIO output pins on IntelĀ® Galileo are provided by an I2C Port
Expander that is running at standard mode (100 kHz). Each I2C request
to update a GPIO requires approximately 2ms. In addition to software
overhead, this restricts the frequency achievable on the GPIO outputs
to approximately 230 Hz.

This is significantly slower than the BBB PRU GPIO  :(
I imagine this will probably be mitigated by parallel port- or
PCI-connected FPGA boards, but still...
