I thought about this for a minute. I remember some sort of performance test a year or two ago that showed minimal gains for anything over a class 4 memory card. I'm not sure how much the bus tech has advanced since then, but class 4/6 transfer speeds would give you a ballpark.
Then I thought that since processor, graphics chip and RAM all live on the sd card, maybe you don't really need a whole lot of transfer speed beyond basic image resolution. If you can watch a movie off of your microsd card, it should be fast enough for anything the FXI unit needs it to do. Your phone's ram and processor could essentially be idle.
