Thank you all for your input. I guess I knew that climb milling was better, but I hated to waste all that time and wear rapiding back to the same end all the time. However, in machining in zigzag, I was always surprised by how much difference there was between the X position of the zig as compared to the zag (if the primary direction is X). Most likely it is just the somewhat slow processing power of my controller causing that "little extra" servo lag.
