You are using a crystal oscillator to set the clock frequency? Are you micro stepping?

You have probably considered this. An alternative method is to use a programmable microprocessor, such as an Atmega 168, and control stepper speed. Gear reduction and careful choice of the final gear ratio may produce good results.
