first of all, please forgive my poor english.
i am using zenphoto svn 3260 which hosting 10000+ photos in 200+ albums.
some albums contain 2000+ photos which geotagged, with google_maps plugin enabled,
the performance on those album pages is very slow (loading time around 15 sec),
although "static_html_cache" plugin could bring some improvement, but just a few sec faster, the loading time is still slow (around 10 sec).
i know that the bottleneck is google_maps plugin, it is a client side problem,
browser is too heavy to handle too many points/postions (2000+) on a map.
can we have more options/functions in google_maps plugins?
1) do not load and add the points to map until user click "google map"
for user saving times and resources if they do not interest to see the map and points
2) only show the points of albums page images (for Effervescence+ themes, default is 15)
this avoid browser loading too heavy on every album page.
3) show all the points in current album including sub-albums
for example, a album named "vacation" contains 2000+ photos which geotagged,
for performance purpose i break this "large" album into 4 sub-albums,
so the folder structure is:
- vacation
- day1 (500 photos)
- day2 (500 photos)
- day3 (500 photos)
- day4 (500+ photos)
when user broswe to "vacation", they may show all the points in whole vacation album, including sub-albums day1 to day4.
but this conflict performance purpose, can we only show a point for a sub-album and link to it?
thanks for attention

Controls which image points are shown on an album page. Check to show points for all images in the album. If not checked points are shown only for those images whose thumbs are on the page.
