Hello Erik,

Displaying that quantity of polylines will not have very good
performance(pan and zoom) with the standard API.

There are a few different things some of us have tried. Usually the
best approach is to make a custom overlay that can draw a group or set
of your polylines to limit the number of overlays the map has to
manage (reduces events, panning is much simpler etc). I haven't used
KML, but I'm going to assume that the performance wouldn't be any
better than normal polylines.

Take a look at the following posts:

Let me know if you need any additional details. I've done the custom
overlay route with good performance with thousands of lines.
