The point I was trying to make is that while that particular board seems to set the standard by which all others are compared to, is that with the possible exception of the BBB with a good breakout, none of the ARM boards are quite there yet.
FWIW, that was recorded from this screen over an ssh -Y login, and was 3 or 4 microseconds worse that what I would have and have gotten standing it front of that machine. However, they will have truly arrived when they grow a PCI bus, and a card such as the 5i25 is used to offload the timing difficult tasks such as stepper generation and encoder resolving, to the 5i25. At that point it can compete, but it won't happen until something like that (Mesa 5i25 clone) does become available to the ARM stuff. But it will not be any cheaper when that happens as the pci version is still $90, which has to be added to the cost of the ARM board itself. But I've not tracked whats available since the ARM crew was shown the door about 2 years back. Sure I could sub to their list too, but I thought it was nice to be informed of cnc progress, state of the art, from one list while the genesis stages of the BBB were being done and reported here...
