Is it really so heavy that you need a hoist or winch? A cheaper solution is a rope and a set of pulleys. If you have a marine hardware store near you you can find some really nice 3:1 or even 6:1 pulley systems. Buy the kind made for single person racing dinghies as they are strong

It depends on how you configure and run Linuxcnc with your intended hardware. In the .INI file there is a section EMCMOT http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/config/ini_config.html#sub:EMCMOT-section The settings you place in BASE_PERIOD and SERVO_PERIOD set the length of each of these task periods

That's what I've found. When I run the test software to determine machine latency the on board video provides the smallest number. Any of the add on boards I tried all gave much worse numbers. Also, if I understand how this works, if the fastest speed required for stepping is not to high
