I have 7 counties of 2008 Tigerline maps up and running on my 4Gb rPi - Brown County and six surrounding Counties. It is not as slow as you'd think. Certainly not as fast as a regular PC, but certainly not excruciatingly slow. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, I had to wait from sometime in August 2012 until after Thanksgiving before I got mine to play with it.

[Xastir] vector maps in xastir coordinate system?

I've been looking at the raspberry pi (honestly, would probably
already have one if I saw it in stock somewhere) and wondering about
running xastir on it.  I know it'll be excruciatingly slow, and I've
been thinking of ways to possible make it faster.

I know xastir has its own coordinate system, and I wondered if
converting existing vector maps (e.g. shapefile) into some sort of
xastir coordinate system vector format would be worth the effort?
Does someone with some insight into the code have an idea how much
computation takes place in the coordinate system transformation step?
