I used to enjoy using this to find local benchmarks that have been set and used. Now a days it is so slow that I am starting to resent using it!
Is there any alternative to this? I haven't seen this discussed previously, which is surprising to me!

Donald -- Do you mean http://geodesy.noaa.gov/OPUS/view.jsp ? The "click to browse map" is certainly slow, it takes at least 30-seconds for the map to appear. It worked well when the service was new, but is seriously bogging down as OPUS approaches 10,000 shared marks.
Alternatives exist:
- The page also provides semantic search, such as marks by county, zip code, etc.
- Use DSWorld and plot > marks > OPUS. This uses the same OPUS.kml file, but with faster software. It downloads it to your PC, so you may have to refresh this occasionally by re-running DSWorld.
