At the request of a potential customer, I did some performance tests with EMC2. I created a program with 10000 blocks like
N123456 G01 F30 X1.0000 Y0.0000 with the coordinates working around a 2" diameter circle. Each chord is roughly 0.0006" long. I ran it with the feedrate at 30 and 60 IPM, no difference, so it wasn't acceleration-related. I got 4 minutes and 17 seconds both times. That works out to 38.91 blocks/second or 2335 blocks/minute. This is on a 600 MHz Pentium III running my universal PWM controller at a servo update rate of 1 KHz. Presumably a hot 3.0 GHz CPU would do this at least 5 times faster.
