Eric,

I tried it from my desktop:  Windows XP  with Explorer 7.  Here are the 
results:

>From 0 points to 100    <1 sec
                                250     3 sec
                                500     5 sec
                             1000       12 seconds

- All -
We have previously tried plotting our recent earthquake system in 
Google maps but ran into problems with having so many quakes on the 
maps at one time.  I'm not sure which commodity hardware/software this 
was tested on, but it seems to be less of an issue now.  My recent 
tests have concluded that modern machines (nothing fancy) running 
Internet Explorer (the slowest, yet most popular browser) have little 
problems handling upwards of 1000 plotted locations at once.  For 
additional testing I'm asking you all take a quick look at the "Google 
Stress" page I mocked up.  It plots a variable number of random points 
on the map.  You can manually vary the number of plotted points by 
using the input field above the map.  Play with this page and see at 
what point you feel the page becomes too unresponsive.  Please let me 
know your results so we have sample data from various machines.

Thanks,
                 ~Eric.
