I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 for the speed/memory upgrade. Since the GPIO header is the same as the Pi 2 I was able to just swap it out with the Pi 3.

I didn't really notice a delay before, but playing through the jamPi definitely "feels" more responsive now.

A couple other minor points of progress:
