I have developed a web application for the FAA using Google Maps API
to display a variety of data that we are processing here for the WAAS
System.

One of the features of the map is the ability to display different
contour levels which are displayed by creating a series of GPolygon
objects.

I have noticed as time has gone on that the drawing of these polygons
has been taking more and more time - to the point now where the latest
version is actually taking a noticeable amount of time to redraw the
polygons.

To illustrate this problem I have created two different websites.
Both sites are using the same exact javascript files that I wrote to
manage and display the data, the only difference is the API Version
being loaded in the -script- tag in the HTML document.


Google Maps Version 2.140
http://www.nstb.tc.faa.gov/sms14.html

Google Maps Version 2.159
http://www.nstb.tc.faa.gov/sms159.html

To demonstrate how the polygon redrawing has slowed down - click on
the 'real-time' button on the upper right hand corner and start
clicking on some layers that draw Polygons (RNP 0.3, RNP 0.1, LVNAV,
LPV, LPV200).  The polygons draw almost instantaneously on Version
2.140 - but watch how slow they draw on 2.159.

The layers need to be drawn in a particular order - since GPolygons do
not currently support Z-Indexs (as far as I'm aware) there is a
function called that will redraw polygon layers to make sure they are
stacked in the correct order.

Anyhow I am just curious if anybody else has noticed this issue.
