I wonder what would the performance of VectorGraphics result compared to 
a comparable Intel machine. I don't have the build environments set up, 
but if you can build Raspian 32 bit and Windows 32 bit, I can compare my 
RasPi3B to my 2010 Atom netbook (I think their performance is generally 
considered similar).

(Yesterday I pushed some updates. A new plugin C code generation and VM 
rebuild is in order. Performance and memory usage improved).

Thanks,
