It has 8500 points in one segment. This is actually a file from a friend,
so I hadn't really understood it's generation or looked that closely at
it before. Upon closer inspection, it seems like there is a new pointline
for every second over a period of about 2h 45m.

The real question here is "What is the maximum amount of points that it makes
sense to store in one LINESTRING record?".

Thanks,
Mike
