At zoom levels above 128 (or is that 128 and above?) I switch from
TIGER shapefiles to national atlas shapefiles - there's a lot less
data, so quicker drawing.

for some reason I used roads from NOAA instead of the national atlas.
Don't recall exactly why, but I seem to remember lack of
differentiation between road types (interstates vs. 2 lane roads,
etc).
