Jerky motion with spiral cutting for circles

Jerky motion with spiral cutting for circles was created by Duc
Im running into issues with the machine being jerky when running spiral cutting for a circle code versus a code output that only output simple circles with step overs.
Machine specs
Intel P4 1.8 ghz
1.5 gigs ram
ATI 9800 Pro
Mesa 5i25/7i76/7i84
The machine will behave perfectly if Im running simple G-code but if running code that uses alot of G-code changes then I get jerky movement. Seems like it is running one line then a short pause till the next line.
Any ideas

Its likely your spiral gcode is made of lots of short segments
Have you looked at the G64 options?

Tried both G61 and G64. Problem was noticably worse with G61.
Looking at my .ini file I do have different acceleration numbers for X and Y. X is 4 and Y is 2. Anything higher than 2 on y results in joint following errors.

Those seem like very low acceleration numbers
I would suspect tuning issues or too tight following error limits

Wasnt to sure what FERROR and MIN_FERROR I should use on the machine. I know its not a super fast CNC since its a old bridgeport boss 5 with original steppers. The joint follow error could be tied to the FERROR limits according to the wiki.
What is a good rough number to use for them to increase the acceleration.

I had forgotten that this was a step/dir machine
If you have following errors its likely that the stepgen_maxaxccel values are not set
(they should be set to about 1.2X the maxaccel values for the corresponding axis)
for a slow stepgen machine I might set maxaccel to 2 to 5x maxvel

so I need to adjust the values in the .hal file

if the maxvel numbers in the ini file are all 4, yes
