See my today's post about this : http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api-for-flash/browse_thread/thread/36bcd154e2de76ad#
Note we have also tried to use Marker manager; It works quite well but the above technique at least support 10K to 20K markers on the map (maybe more ?) with low performance impact. Above this 10K I think Marker manager is required. Native Google Maps Marker API hardly supports 5k markers. It doesn't depend on PC configuration and processor, because the limit here is memory. Google Map native markers take an average of 50K of RAM per marker. so if you have 1000 markers you have at least 50Mb of RAM used for markers only. As mermory disposal is not so well managed by Flash player and google Maps API, very quickly you reach a limit of a little bit more than 1GB used by your app, and you cannot go much beyond, due to 32bits Flash player limitation..., but also PC memory pagination that begins to be quite slow...) When we'll have 64bits flash player it will be better, as soon google recompiles also MAps API over it. One day ?
