Well, Microsoft make crappy browsers, we know that, but unfortunately they are about the most used also, so we have to account for them. Mouseover on polygons is always expensive. You could try adding a threshold, meaning for example, "if the mose moved less than 10 pixels then do nothing", or you could leave the encoded polygons out, load only the custom tiles, and do the mouseover thing only on the labels. Or simply get rid of the mouseover thing altogether. Is it worth the performance penalty? There are options. :-)
