Let us know how it goes. I would think that the MarkerManager that
isn't active wouldn't do more than impact the memory used and the load
time slightly. Displaying markers is what is the resource hog as I
under stand it, so the performance would vary directly with the number
of markers displayed, and less directly by the number loaded.
