MAXnc setup

I spent some time with my maxnc system this weekend, getting the
gekodrive servos to work. (they work well).

I found the fastest maxnc can move motors on my system is a step about
every 1.1ms. This is a 486/50 system.

I played with the parameter file, item 1, which is somehow connected to
a speed factor. Any value over 2 seemd to work, and I couldnt figure out
a difference. A value of 1 causes the program to hang and require a
re-boot.

Has anyone determined what these numbers mean and how to arrive at a
good value?

The 'doc' that comes with maxnc is VERY poor.

Anyone have speeds out of max faster than this with faster processors?
