I'm adding Geometry.Points to the map with "label" property in
order to display numbers. However, my IE7 cannot deal with more
than 100-200 such numbers without slowing down considerably and
eventually crashing (whereas FF can do all right even with 3000:
using both SVG or Canvas renderer).<br>
<br>
How hard would it be to make the VML renderer to do these label
points as "div" elements? Currently they are rendered as VML
"textbox" within "rect", which IE apparently process slowly.
"div" elements would surely be faster, right?<br>
<br>
I tried to simply replace the "rect" and "textbox" in "drawText"
to "div" and "span", but that didn't work: the numbers were
positioned oddly while moving the map. In the original VML
renderer it seems that "rect" is not changed while moving the
map (and I cannot understand why these "rect" are needed at
all), but "textbox" changes its margins. I cannot find what is
changing them though.<br>
