FYI - indeed, it seems to be fastest when you stay close to the  
initial view. I guess people jump in, scroll around a bit and then stop.

> 1.0 Release API URL:   http://openlayers.org/api/1.0/OpenLayers.js
> Latest Stable API URL: http://openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js
> 1.0 Release Tarball:   http://openlayers.org/download/ 
> OpenLayers-1.0.tar.gz

> You can see some example OpenLayers applications here:

> The 1.0 release includes support for display of:
>
>   * Markers
>   * Popups
>   * Tiled WMS Images
>   * WFS Results (as points)
>   * Textual (tab-seperated) data

> Development continues at a fast pace. Currently, the development

>   * ka-Map data
>   * WorldWind data
>   * Untiled WMS Requests
>   * GeoRSS data

>   * Google Maps
>   * Yahoo Maps
>   * Microsoft Virtual Earth
