I rarely use google maps so haven't noticed. Only thing I really miss from OSM based services is street-view.

Its really bad, it takes almost a minute for the site to "stabilize", and even then, default text in the search bar is overlaid with whatever you're typing, a good 30 seconds to load a destination.

A chrome browser on the same device has maps behave almost instantaneously.

That really sounds like intentional.
