Google subdomains vs subfolders

Google Maps Go Google
  1. Designed to run smoothly on devices with limited memory and on unreliable networks
    It's just one redirecting to the other. maps.google.com is a subdomain and google.com/maps is likely an application hosted at the root of google.com. Google is incredibly large and how their infrastructure is set up I couldn't say. In IIS however, this would be the "same site" but with applications under that root site. They could also have balancing based on the URI stem to different servers. Who knows.
