Oh wow, big difference. I moved to the tiled mapnik maps and it loads very
fast. Everything seems to be working great, I cannot wait to see the
response at Hamcation.

Thanks again for all of the help.

Certainly could, if you're using the online maps.  Check again later and
they may be present.  I believe they keep a cache of used maps and schedule
their server to render more tiles if they are requested.

Try the OSM_tiled* maps instead.  I'm using the mapnik versions of those.
With those you get small tiles and Xastir stitches them together, as well as
caches them.  Much nicer when you only move a little bit:  Xastir only has
to snag the tiles at the new edge(s).
