Koos;
I'm having the same problem you're experiencing with a TCS decoder I put in an Athearn CF-7. Forget the decoder model, but it acts just as you describe. After trying all sorts of settings, it will start off nice and slow about 1/2 scale mph (using 28 speed steps), but as you increase the speed (around speed step 4 or 5), the loco will stop and then only move again when you advance to about speed step 7 or 8. Behaves the same way if I use 128 speed steps. I think I've tried the same things you have with no improvement in performance.
I'm hoping that someone on here that's really good with DCC can give us both an answer as to what to do!
