Now that you're comparing apples to apples, I'd suggest that the topic
of this thread has ceased to be relevant. Here's my results using the
version of your page that was current at the time of this posting:

IE 7
Google: 318
Live: 552
Yahoo: 344

FF 3
Google: 207
Live: 320
Yahoo: 231

Chrome 2
Google: 62
Live: 145
Yahoo: 117

Looks to me like GMaps are now fastest, and MS Live slowest, on all
three of these browsers. I don't doubt that if you tried you could
find a browser with different results, but I'm not going to waste
further time on it. :^) And don't even mention IE6, now that 8 is
being pushed via Windows Update that's officially 2 versions old, and
anyone still using it has only themselves to blame for any pain they
incur.

Two other points. First, the differences are approaching the margin of
error, and between Google and Yahoo! we're only talking about three
hundredths of a second. Is anyone seriously suggesting that's an
important difference? And second, 200 markers on one map is useless in
anyone's world; such an app needs redesign to use a different
presentation model.
