RE: stepper pulse rate idea

This one gets my vote.

How many machines would it actually help considering the hardware and
software work required? Most of the machines that I am aware of
requiring a higher pulse rate than EMC can provide are using 20 TPI
screws direct drive on 10 micro step drives. These applications would be
much better served just lowering the step increment. The other machines
where it is likely to be applied probably will not see much benefit as
the steppers are already marginal at the rpm. Doesn't matter if the
pulse train is multiplied or not, they will just not go a whole lot
faster on a reliable basis.
