The latest software on the Pocket NC is using the same trajectory planner as 
what is in LinuxCNC.

I haven’t followed the whole thread. What seems to be wrong with the trajectory 
planner when doing 4 or 5-axis?

The trajectory planner only has one line look ahead for any rotary axis. So this means that trajectory planning is not really happening and performance is very poor when trying to achieve faster moves.

The Pocket NC runs Machinekit.  I'm told machinekit has a better TP,
but I haven't seen any evidence of that.

The small 4-axis CNC machine,'Pocket Nc' uses LinuxCNC as far as I can
tell, and it seems to run just fine. Or does it?

It's not as bad as that.

There is a 9-axis blending planner in Tormach, but it's not trivial to
merge it with Linuxcnc due to divergence in the codebase.

If we could get hold of the patches that introduced it to Tormach then
we could look at integrating it, but doing it just from comparing the
code sounds hard.
