Has anyone experienced a slow, laggy Google Maps experience while using Safari?

Has anyone experienced a slow, laggy Google Maps experience while using Safari? I've tried using Chrome with Google Maps and there is no problem at all (everything is butter smooth), but the experience with Safari is way bellow Chrome. I'm experiencing a lot of lag.

Machine: Late 2013 15" rMBP 2.0GHz I7, 16 GB RAM, Intel Iris Pro

OSX version: 10.10.3

Safari version: 8.0.6

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

As of Sept. 28, 2015 the problem remains. Slow, laggy on Safari, but relatively quick and smooth on Chrome. My MacBook Pro is less than a year old, with plenty of memory, and all software is up to date. No extensions. Tried the suggested remedies in previous posts. Nothing helps. To be specific, Google Maps in Safari will find an address quickly, but if you try to move around the map by dragging, it lags, and then catches up with a vengeance, scrolling far past where I tried to go. In contrast, Chrome works fine. I'd like to keep using Safari but it's unusable for that function.

This helped for me (rMBP early 2013, 2.6GHz, 8 GB, Yosemite):

- turn mapsGL off by entering in Safari: https://maps.google.com/?vector=0

- exit Safari

- enter Safari & play!
