For the most part map rendering is pretty slow.  However, on the RPi I was
comparing Xastir as an IGate to other non-GUI software that supports
IGating, so I didn't care about the map.  I just left the default high
level "worldhi" map in place.  That is a very simple/crude map that loads
just fine in the RPi.
