Good question...I don't remember seeing any actual specs. I have witnessed intermittent failures in a TOS program that had a task that blocked for 1ms, with Telosb under T1 and Boomerang. So I would tend to try to keep things much shorter than that. I don't know what got blocked, but it eventually caused the program to loose sync with it's neighbors.
You can count instructions or toggle an LED and measure the time with a scope to get an idea of your task's execution timing.
