First of all thanks for the feedback, I always love when critics are useful.
I try to go point by point.
We took a conscious decision disabling the scrolling wheel as zoom in/out because otherwise it would have triggered too many "refine searches". In addition today the search is even slower due to the huge traffic we're getting and it's definitely something we should work on.
But I agree, the map is definitely something we should work on.
Regarding the landing page I think it's still a speed problem, but I'll take a closer look to this.
