I think Michael Haberler has a handle on this, and plans something major to make it work better. I hope we can talk to him at the Fest and get details of how he plans to make it work better. So far, I have not really understood what he has in mind, and may completely misunderstand what he is doing. I even have some tests that show the shortfall of the current scheme without any high speed moves (although programming a 2" circle with 10,000 linear vectors is, admittedly, a torture test, and not real code I'd want to machine with.)
Another thing that comes up often is proper handling of a dual-motor gantry. There are apparently 3 ways to do this now, mostly related to homing. gantrykins was supposed to solve it, but you shouldn't be able to get it into joint mode after homing, but it apparently can. (This problem may also have a perfect solution, and maybe at the Fest somebody can show me how to do it!) These are the two areas I have run into a number of times, and I think solving them would make LinuxCNC useful in some more applications.
