So, I've modified my .hal file in order to reset only the Step pins, and not the Dirs, but this didn't seem to improve things much :
The drives still don't receive the expected count of pulses for a given move, as seen from the ASDA monitoring software. The loss is maybe a bit reduced, but I can't tell for sure as it is a bit random.
So, for the time being, I think I'll refrain from using DoubleStep on my current setup. This is not a deal-breaker, and this matter will probably resolve by itself when I upgrade my hardware.
Thank you all for your help,
Best regards

Try it with a bit higher base thread period, might get you what you want.

Doublestep / reset is independent of the base thread.
What actually happens is that the reset function is called last, and then it busy-waits until there has been at least reset-time nS since the parallel port pins were written. Typically this is a very short wait, or no wait at all, if there is some other function running between parport-write and reset.
