Yup, the arms are a different beast. I get a very consisten 12 u-secs 
here as long as FF isn't running, its an IRQ pig.

True, but an old 12 volt video card fan, re-oiled and running on 5 volts 
from the same 5A supply running the pi, toss the wall wart, its not big 
enough and it will crash, a half inch from those stick on heat sinks is 
all the coolant mine has ever needed, and I don't think I'm boosting the 
pi4's clock. Some of my hand controls to jog it, since a human is pretty 
slow, are running on a 200hz thread to reduce the load on the 1 kilohertz 
servo-thread, but I have experimentally run the servo-thread at 4 
kilohertz w/o any problems for a couple weeks. Basically, the rpi3 has 
its tongue dragging on the floor doing this, very little left when LCNC 
is running, but the rpi4 has enough extra speed that even 4khz isn't a 
problem. And 200hz is plenty fast enough for the hand controls.

Take care and stay well John.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
