That addresses the performance problem, but this likely also if you do this
for performance reasons, it also increases battery consumption as you
put additional load onto another component of the SOC. But it may still be
good to offload certain tasks from the main CPU to the GPU as the GPU
may do the same thing more power efficient.

I really think low battery consumption is the most important issue with
a map widget as this type of widget is meant to be used over a longer
period of time and while being away from stationary power.
