I've run into scalability issues too. If your bubble information is loaded along with the markers, it can take a lot of time, especially when you get more detailed data. If the information in the bubble is loaded using the ajax method you will find some savings. I load about a 1000 markers currently without markermanager or clustering and the load time is still under 10 seconds.
One simple solution might be to split your data into a number of files. Load the historical buildings and have that the initial option. When people click on the other option do the load then.
