the map itself loads quickly enough, its the extra data that i want to load faster, hence trying to use KMZ's they work infinately faster in google earths' api, than in the google maps api.
the whole point on what im trying to do is get my KML data into maps, so that i can view the data, make some basic measurements, and use it as a planning tool. the earth API doesnt seem to have a measure tool, yet maps does, so this kinda forces me into using maps.
