Same question, but w/ PWM speed controllers and reading current over PDP?

I know that the PDP only reads new currents every 25ms, or at least it was last season. Don't know if that changed. In addition, PWM updates at max every 5ms, so you couldn't go any faster then that even if you had a faster sensor.
The default status update period for Talons is 10ms. However I know that you can set it even faster. I bet you could do 5ms easily, and could probably push about every 2ms if you are careful with your CAN usage.
I would bet that is plenty fast enough, as your mechanical system probably won't react much quicker then that.
