As already announced in the mailing list, I have a new map online. It's a complete new implementation and does not use openlayer map library.

I developed it for webkit browsers including iPhone. For iPhone I had to use hardware accelerated image rendering to do proper moultitouch.
Chrome and Safari offers also hardware acceleration. Firefox and Internet Explorer announced to support Direct 2D.

With faster browsers a smooth zoom is possible. Try to load some images to the browser cache by zooming in and out. The zoom by doubleclick should be an animation with at least 10 frames/sec (fullscreen).

Please try this in an webkit browser. Opera 10.50 has also very nice speed.
It's still Beta and internet explorer and konqueror are not supported.
Firefox works slower but will speedup in 3.7 Version. If you have 3.7 alpha you have to enable the 2d css.
