Since homing velocity is in ips and your test of the pulse duration used 6 
ipm, you are dealing with a 1 msec window to see that pulse.  Rather than 
reducing the axis cycle time, I'd reduce the homing velocity to a snail's 
pace/10 so that the index pulse is up there for several loops of the cycle 
time.  And since you do not home very often, the wait should not be as 
detrimental to your system as trying to run with real small cycle times.
