USB3 standard provides 900mA per port instead of 500mA.
Other than that there is no reason or advantage to connect USB3 hub to USB2 port. The limiting factor is still the USB2 port and USB2 controller.
yes there is an advantage, this has been proven with the use of usb 3.0 sticks on raspbmc compared to usb 2.0 sticks, the data transfer is much higher, im thinking more along the lines of glitches on playback.
