Are you using the same Google Maps as everyone else? At least for me, the experience has never been better or easier to use. I absolutely love the new desktop maps and the performance has been better in my experience, not worse.

I also find the new maps extremely slow on desktop, though the interface is reasonably fast on mobile. Tried both Firefox and Safari on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro, and everything is pretty wonky and unreliable. I actually use Bing Maps now by default on desktop due to the speed issue, unless I need something that Bing doesn't have (Google has much better transit coverage, for example).

Ha! Maybe I'm stuck on a beta version from when I opted in early. I could hope. I really can't imagine the performance being better, but I guess it's ymmv.
