Try this simple page where you can use v2 and v3 side by side. Try not use the newest machine and drag both maps with the mouse
http://www.wolfpil.de/v2-v3-sidebyside.html Although the v3 map loads a bit faster it's pretty sluggish to drag compared to v2.260. I've tested the load speed of v2.140 (that unfortunately has been switched off) with v3.1.6 and 2.140 loaded faster - although it has had many more features than v3. If Google tells you that there has been a general performance boost from v2 to v3 it's a mere fairy tail, nothing more than PR. Of course there has been some performace boosts, maybe for kml layers and for Webkit browsers on newer machines. But the general assertion that there has been a performance boost is not fair and is contrary to the facts.
