First load of dynamic layer using ArcGIS Javasript extension for Google is slow

Hello,

We have a large polyline layer that we are hoping to serve up as a dynamic layer onto google.

The map service is set to draw the layer only when zoomed into a city block level (10,000 and in). Performance is greate using both the ESRI javascript and ESRI silverlight api; however, when we use the javascript extension for Google the intial load is incredibly slow (minutes). Once the pipe is visible performance is fine moving around. Has anyone experienced this?

Below is the canned sample from the resource center. Do I need to do make a tweak for handling the large layer?

Thanks in advance,

Jess
