Not a simple change, but how about a SDL driver?  X11 on pi is painful and sucks some of the performance from gsport.  I compiled KEGS-SDL on the pi and got it running with the exception of getting a disk image loaded.  It gets a little performance boost from running with SDL and full-screen mode is much better as it isn't trying to scale a 640x200 window to 1280x1080 in software.

Also, in your spare time, the 65816 emulation should be rewritten in ARM assembly.  That would be sweet!
