100k pulse rate into a 200 step motor would yield 500 rps, unless you
intend to use microstepping translators you could not attain such 
high rate of speed from steppers. 
However I assume you are using micro-steppers. 
If you are using micro-steppers then you know the cost of doing so,
so you could spend some more and buy an indexer that would meet your
needs, after all they spent big bucks developing stepper controllers,
why re-invent the wheel?
I have use one from Compu-Motor, it's the PC23 (for IBM PC/XT-AT),
it can produce 500k pps and with 3 axes,encoders,joy stick and limit
switchs, all for $2000. 

Hmmm.. changing speed and target on the fly.... sounds like your trying
to control a telescope.. :-)
