[OpenLayers-Dev] adding markers is slow in IE

[Paul Spencer]

I had a (non-OL) piece of code that really sucked in IE because of  
attaching event handlers to a bunch of small elements in the page -  
replacing it with an event handler on the container and then using  
the target property to determine if one of the smaller elements had  
been clicked solved the problem for me.  I haven't looked at Marker  
but I would check to see how event handling is done.

Cheers

Paul
