New Google Maps website slower than all other sites I visit


Question

Hello Neowin, So, I got my invite for the new Google Maps today. I was going thru the "tour" thing and my PC started slowing down.

My tabs:

my gmail inbox

Maps

Is this my laptop or the website?

Yeah, I found it very slow - the CPU usage on my laptop shot right up! ...so the poor speed isn't due to the server, it's due to the amount of client-side rendering that's going on!

So although the new maps is impressive, Google need to do something to make it use drastically less CPU! ...or it's going to alienate a large proportion of users once its fully rolled out!

I didn't find it slower in terms of performance, but getting what I want seems to be slower.

Works great here without any slow downs but that's maybe because I got kinda quick internet and some overpowered specs xD

On my intel atom laptop it was slower though

I found it to be fast on my powerful home computer but very slow rendering on my not as fast office computer.

My laptop was the cheapest one I could find in the electronics store I bought it in.

 

Never had a problem with Google Maps ...until now!

 

It's very slow and I hate that the "man" icon for Street View is missing
