ESRI vs. Google, Flex API Load Times Compared. Part 2

In an effort to be fair I decided to rerun the test I had done earlier, but this time using polygons. Part of the reasoning is that I feel that Google's Marker has a lot of crap that it has to draw, like the shadow and just the balloon shape alone would add time. The polygon in Google is just that a polygon and nothing extra. So I created 2000 different bounding boxes and let both ESRI and Google load them. As suspected Google's performance was much better but ESRI was still faster.

Google	ESRI
3.828 sec.	3.032 sec.
3.891 sec.	2.875 sec.
3.953 sec.	2.969 sec.

So the moral of the story is don't use Google's Marker if you want to go fast.
