This library is very heavy on the GPU (as opposed to google maps),
which makes it really slow in e.g. vmware without GPU acceleration,
and presumably on platforms that don't have a GPU.

I've seen this before e.g. with some jQuery animations, which are
really slow without a GPU.

OpenLayers and Google Maps don't suffer from the same problem.
