So why is it KML at all? If this application has to be a web application 
(and it sounds from earlier comments that perhaps it is actually meant 
best as a local desktop), then you have to beat the problem of 
minimising data transfer. Using a WMS server and converting the kml data 
into a vector source that is mapping the WMS and queried by WFS is 
better way to go. Geoserver (Opensource WMS and WFS server) can also 
create KML on the fly from vector sources, appropriate to scale, for use 
with google Earth if you want this as well.
