I am one happy camper right now. You hit the nail on the head. I started getting fairly reliable movements at around 3000ns, so I set both the steplen and stepspace to 5000ns and then started tuning the velocities and accelerations. Even with the 5000ns values I am running at least twice as fast as I did with the parallel port using Mach3.
You have made my evening. Thank you so much!

Your scales seem to be 3000 steps per inch. At that scale and at 5000nS step-length you would need to be at 2000 inches/minute before the step length started to be a speed limit.
