A Cry For Maps Help

Hi there

Can anyone suggest any ideas or options for speed performance enhancement on some new developments we uploaded this week on iHubbub.

The site has been been rebuild from scratch on a new updated commons platform with no panels [which slowed the old site down] and only necessary modules, but now .... with the new maps and pins feature it is far too slow [!] with the maps script and pin data but as this is now a vital hub of the site, we need to get this fixed asap.

Take a look at http://ihubbub.com and please drop me a line. There is still on-going work to be done on the site - any suggestions and comments will be most appreciated and if you would like to pitch to involve your skills, feel free to go ahead.

Kind regards

Paula
