Revised MakerBot Z-Stage Guide
by cbiffle, published
Description
I imported Will's z-stage guide into Blender and manually refined the mesh. Now the M3 bolt holes have 8 vertices, instead of 32. With careful use of the Stretch module in Skeinforge, the holes come out perfect.

Cliff, I'm also printing over (USB-)serial, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Make sure you also have Comb off. If that doesn't fix it, get in touch and I'd like to send you the STL for my cable clip (it's not quite ready for Thingiverse yet) and see how it comes out on your printer.
Keith, thanks for the link. On my bot, at least, Unpause doesn't seem to help nearly as much as it does on yours -- though I'm printing over a serial port. I should try printing from SD and see if that's the missing link for low-latency.
I had the same problem with tight curves too until I turned on the Unpause tool in Skeinforge. Here's a pic of the difference before and after:

So although it's admirable (and impressive!) that you're altering the mesh to improve the print, I'd guess you can accomplish the same thing on this and any model with Unpause.
Here's my whole writeup including some other fixes:
