[Xastir] Local maps slow on zooming

[PL DeLong]

Hello:

I have xastir up and running under Fedora 14 as a VM under VMware Player with one 2.53GHz Xeon CPU core and 1GB of RAM allocated on a Dell Precision T3500.

I downloaded the TIGER/LINE 2006 shapefiles for Ohio to a sub-folder I created under the maps folder as a test. I find that zooming in and out is painfully slow. I can see all the files loading in the status box in the lower left corner each time I zoom in or out.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Thank you
