Without seeing your code, it is hard to know. My guess would be

baselayer (eg 900913 if using google maps). If you have created another 
layer and are adding points to it from some local source, then you need 
to get them into that srs. if you are requesting points from 
geoserver/mapserver then they will reproject for you if do the call 
correctly.

Local server = you own geoserver/mapserver? Who is going to use the map? 
Speed can be able network speeds between browser and server, about 
server performance, or about amount of data being transferred (eg WFS 
can send huge about data if not careful). Solutions will depend on where the
