KML slowness in Google maps

Question

I have a KML file of size 2.7MB which I am rendering over world map using Google Maps V3. It works fine but the loading time is very slow (~8 seconds).

I have this KML file locally stored and I use geoxml3 API to render it.

Is it possible to somehow reduce this KML to around 500KB without loss of data to improve loading time? Or maybe some other way of doing it.

Thanks

KMl indexing is not the ultimate geographic data strand. You can use KMZ format. http://www.quora.com/What-are-some-techniques-for-minimising-the-size-of-your-KML-files
