You can get those tilesets by
GBandwidth.forceLowBandwidthMode(true);
The tile images are more heavily compressed and the hybrid tiles are
composite. The file sizes are significantly smaller.
I don't know the correct syntax for using methods of GBandwidth
object. The line above was just a quick try and there is something
wrong with it because both 'old' and 'new' tiles are downloaded.
The static methods of GBandwidth are:
forceLowBandwidthMode(a)
initializeLowBandwidthMapLayers()
isInLowBandwidthMode()
setLowBandwidthMode(a,b)
setupBandwidthHandler(a,b,c)
trackTileLoad(a,b)
