Description
I've been working with two different Galileo extruders on my machines. I've noticed that when I push them, the extrusion seems poor. Mechanically everything is sound, and if I run slow the extrusion is great. My theory is that there's not enough torque and I'm skipping.
I'm experimenting with a run_current of 0.8 versus 0.6, which in theory would increase the torque of the motor, reducing the potential for skips.
My question, is there a reason to run at 0.6 versus 80% of the max current rating for the stepper?

Research direction
Start with the Klipper `run_current` setting and the Galileo extruder and stepper motor specifications mentioned in the report. Compare the 0.6 and 0.8 settings against the motor's rated current and determine whether the observed high-speed skipping has a documented configuration explanation; done requires a clear, supported answer rather than a code change.
