Speedy for Large, Many Polygons

[Mike Dolbow]

Well, after watching Sue and Dave's talk on Speedy Maps from this year/s I/O, one question at the end was about speeding up complex polygons. Sue mentioned that a member of their team might be willing to look at solutions for folks, so I thought, "why not?"

Here's my map that overlays 3 very complex KMLs loaded with polygons:

I have my Python guy create these from an ArcSDE (ESRI) source and update them every week. I believe he first simplifies the geometry, and then reduces attributes, in order to get the size under the Maps API limits. But it's still a bit slow to load the KMLs.

One question: if I use MapTiler to create tiles of these, will I be able to preserve the infoWindows?

Please also excuse my sloppy Javascript. I'm not exactly an expert in that arena...but at least I've minimized it! I can provide it with comments if anyone wants to see it in a lengthier form.
