Not a great result, though. My feeling is that the Atom processors are marginal for LinuxCNC, especially in cases with long programs or contouring, where the slowness would be more obvious. So, if the Pi is 1/6th that speed, that will not be good at all. Exactly how this compares on LinuxCNC, where there is also a lot of non-FP code, isn't clear. If LinuxCNC was run with the GUI on another system, it might be OK, and for special projects which are not typical machines, it might be fine.
