The timing to the board will not affect the boards performace or how the motors run. If the step timing is too fast the board might misses steps if the direction timing is too fast the board might miss a direction change. If this is the problem then increase the timing until those problems go away. The information on hobbycnc is sketchy at best. If you find a setting that is better please let me know and I'll update the wiki page. If it runs fine and changes direction fine but the motor is noisy at mid range that is the hobbycnc board doing that. Cheap drives have mid range resonance problems.
Please explain what "a tad too harsh" means.
