We have encounter tered the same problem That have caused us to to abandoned
some of our works. As you said the IE will mess you up with about 5000-6000
elements (not 50,000). FF Not doing much better either- it will take you a
century to get a mouse click event.
There are several avenues you can approachs.
1- Making a round trip client/server to have the image back from the server.
2- Or:
- Using client side javascript to dynamically create bitmap files that
the browsers support (BMP,PNG,GIF.PCX.IMG... or even XBM).
- We have done it and it works beautifully. (our Client side javascript
can generate bit map enough to fill out 2,000,000 pixels AND 48 others
400x400 bitmap to form an almost full screen animation bench marked at (
2' for FF and 4 ' for the IE6).
- With the right format, this approach also give you the full control of
the display. (You can plot/draw or examine the value of every single pixel
of your display)
- Draw-backs: There not much help floating on the net You may have to
start from the scratch.
3- Let us know If you like some help.
Good luck.

For FF: if you combine background color and 4 border color you can improve
quite a bit. (about 1/2).
For:IE You may optimize thru mask and chroma filter to reduce the number of
rect required to display your image.
'One thing shoud be note: IE and FF take long, long time to do string object
calculation example if A as string then . A+=A 4000 times my cost you not
one but SEVERAL minutes.
I Hope this help.
Your suggestions of improvement are greatly appreciated.
