It is known fact about Nokia S60 ( E72 in my case ) java implementation it has performance issue
with large tared map atlases of Trekbuddy J2ME application.
For this reason a native Symbian service helper was developed.
Does it affect GPSMid with bigger maps too ?
Is there supposed difference if embedded to JAR or external in ZIP ?

Yes, I think it does impact GpsMid quite badly, too. My experience is that performance on the E72 is a lot better with bundled (inside the midlet jar) maps when compared to external ZIP maps.
I also have trouble with installing big (say, ca. 100 Mb) bundled maps on the Nokia phones like E72 - often the installation just ends with on error. However the same jar can be installed with enough tries. I think tweaking with file size parameters helps to a degree.
Maybe the Symbian helper route could be considered for GpsMid as well. There's already a cellid & digital compass Symbian helper which runs as a python script.

Good idea, I forgot about this option.
But there are plenty of small files even for option of big tiles, it could be wasting of space due cluster quatizatiotion.

you may try specifying unpacked map (directory) as a map source. definitely faster than external zip file on my e51.
