Javelin Perfromance

Hi,
I am an old Basic Stamp user who had a lot of fun building and learning with the BoeBot. However,·currently I·need to expand a little, so naturally I am considering the Javelin as an upgrade and was wondering what kind of performance can I expect.
I am building a robot with 8 Sharp IR sensors, fuzzy logic motor controller and an autonomous·navigation·program. The navigation program involves·3 2D arrays·each of·size·[noparse][[/noparse]32][noparse][[/noparse]50] which I update 3 times a second with the sensor readings so I really need the RAM.
Anybody who worked with the Javelin think that it would be able to run these programs effectively?
Any other·ideas that are suitable for·someone upgrading from the BasicStamp to the Javelin?·

those with a onedimensional array. So you have 3 byte arrays of size 32*50 = 1600 bytes
that you update (entirely???) 3 times a second. That is 3 * 3 * 1600 = 14400 bytes per second.
The javelin cannot update that fast. You can expect to update about 1500 bytes
per second at the very most.
