It could definitely be an issue with network speed. I don't have the greatest connection, sure, but I think 10mb/s should be able to handle it.
I understand how the directions work and I agree it's super simple, but the intended UX and what I actually experience is different. The contextual search box doesn't consistently change in relation to what I'm clicking on so that I cannot click / type / directions as I know I'm supposed to.

I happen to agree that the new interface is incredibly difficult to use, UI-wise. In fact, I switched back to old maps for this reason. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics which got me frustrated. I do recall that I would very often be wandering with my mouse trying to figure out what to click next.
Haven't noticed the performance problems though. I'm on a Macbook Pro, using Chrome.
As for finding directions: there's a search box, you type in an address, hit the 'directions' button that pops up, and enter another address. I literally can't think of a way to make this simpler.
