Actually while I wrote that text I thought that maybe "/maps" actually is 
a point for improvement and could be delivered static :-)

Thought when I change that, I think about splitting that large page 
into smaller subpages, as editing the page also got a demanding task 
today. OTOH that makes stuff more complicated - will have to think about a 
useful solution.

And currently there is no time for that. But it is a know issue. And 
although "/maps" takes long, there are bigger performance killers.
