When I use Google's Page Speed tool (great tool by the way
http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/ )
to try to evaluate making my site faster, I get many complains about
Google Maps v3.

Specifically,
- external Javascript is not combined
- static resources are not served from a domain that doesn't set
cookies
- cookie size over the recommended 400 bytes
etc

the end result is my page gets a bad score :(

You can see the examples by running Page Speed on the demo pages like
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/examples/map-simple.html

Is this something I need to worry about? I've heard Page Score is used
in ranking/quality scoring. it seems a shame to rank badly because I
use google's own map tools, especially v3 which is designed to be
faster than v2.

Thanks for your help and for the great tools.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're aware that there are
