Many graphics cards have a limit of 1024x1024 (or in your case perhaps 2048x2048) for the texture size. You'll have better results if you break your texture and your quad array into pieces so that the textures can be smaller. If you expect that only a small piece of the texture will be displayed normally, you may find even more benefit in breaking it into even smaller chunks, say 256x256 or 512x512. This will keep the texture and geometry that are off the screen from slowing things down.
