I am running a modified Gmoccapy on BBB for my EMCO-120P lathe.
http://blog.f1oat.org/category/emco-turn-120p/
I confirm: the performance is not so good, I am experiencing some
latency when using touchscreen buttons.
However, gremlin display and DRO refresh is ok. So, it is usable, but
not fully comfortable.
I am now thinking about adding a RPI-Zero in my control panel to run
Gmoccapy and keep the BBB only for the real-time motion control.
That should be possible because Machinekit internal communication bus as
been modified for distributed system (ZeroMQ).
I have another machine running a modified Machineface Android UI running
on a tablet, with IP connection to the BBB.

I am pretty shure that gmoccapy will not perform well on BBB.
I am the developer of that GUI,
i tested on my own BBB with 3D printer, with such big files the performance of
any gui with preview is very bad and imho not usable. For normal mill or lathe
operations you might be able to live with the poor grafic performance of BBB, i
decided not to use BBB any more on such machines.
And i need to inform, that i do not develope gmoccapy any more for machinekit!
The development for linuxcnc is still ongoing and a new release will be pushed
soon.
The desision of not developing any more for machinekit is not against
machinekit!!! It is just a matter of the need to mantain a third branch
(LinuxCNC 2.7 , master and machinekit). All need different python handling of
signals and commands, i.e. Joint axis support, etc.
If i ever get time to develop also a GUI for machinekit, you will shure be
informed✋
