RViz Performance on a Raspberry Pi 2
I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in a VirtualBox. When I start RViz, the overall performance of the system becomes super crappy (and when using the 3D Acceleration Feature in the VirtualBox settings, RViz always crashes, see here). Since I have a spare Raspberry Pi 2, I thought about setting up ROS on it and use its RViz remotely for visualization by publishing the relevant topics over the network, but I have some concerns regarding whether the pi has enough processing power to run Rviz nicely.
So my question is:
Is anyone using RViz on a Raspberry Pi 2 and if so, how does it perform (running smoothly or lagging)?

I would assume running RViz on a RPi2 would be a bad idea since it doesn't have very much processing power and doesn't have a GPU.

The Raspberry Pi do have GPUs; they all are OpenGL ES 2.0 capable. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Raspberry_Pi#/Specifications. Make sure GPU hardware acceleration is available in your distribution (eg: Raspbian has it)
