Dear Cesar,
using GIST index in geographic database is nearly a must, but still
You can't compare to Google maps, which is using different technology.
p.mapper is fetching data from database and rendering a new map every
time You move in the map. Google maps is using pre-cached map tiles,
which are rendered once and than served from cache as static images
with very good performance. I recommend You to move to OpenLayers and
Tilecache.

Ivan
