There's not a lot you can do,
IE's dismal performance was a large (but by no means only!) incentive for the development of Chrome - to make the web faster. Microsoft acknoledges the performance issue - as noted in your figures, they have clearly done work by time IE10 released to improve matters. So if users complain about speed, tell them to either upgrade their browser, or switch to a different one. having said that there are plently of optimiation you could do to your site to improve matters, which would make it quicker in ALL browsers. You could probably get it down to 6 seconds on ie8 :) - just that ie10 would then be say 3 seconds :) (eg faster server, using server caching, faster DNS servers, avoiding https when you dont need it, combining assets, setting proper HTTP headers for caching http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/rules_intro ... none of this is realyl specific to the Maps API, its general web-performance work.
