Hi, I imagine you refer to this page: http://code.google.com/apis/charttools/docs/choosing.html <http://code.google.com/apis/charttools/docs/choosing.html>I think that since this page was created browser technology has advanced considerably (e.g. Chrome) and the speed differences are not that meaningful.
I even suspect that considering the network connection - a page with several charts where most of the api js is cached - you will get much better results using interactive charts. I think the speed issue should be a minor consideration in choosing the right chart tool. --Ed On Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 5:05 AM, Mawg <[email protected]> wrote: > Since the Visualization API offers more than the Charts API, the > comparison page says that the Carts API will render in less than a > second, but the Visualization API may take a few seconds.
