LatLon to XY space

Hello,

in the documentation, I found that, for performance reasons, one can
work strictly in XY space.
I now have data in Latlon and my question is: how do I convert these
data into XY? Are there any examples of this operation (transformation)?
An example layer that only works with XY maybe?

thx,
Pieter
