I would say best practise is dont use any vector format for more than 
500 points of geometry, period. And KML can be considerably more verbose 
than say GML. You are up against limitations of the browser, network 
transfer speeds and especially the execution speed of js. Have a long 
look at the application and see how you move rendering to the server 
(WMS). If you are stuck with KML, then look at the KML module in 
geoserver for example.
