Be aware that displaying 150 polylines simultaneously will make the map 
rather sluggish, particularly in slow browsers like MSIE. How sluggish 
it gets depends on many factors, such as the average number of vertices 
in those polylines, and the hardware, O/S and Internet connection speed 
and browser type.

Before committing a lot of effort into your project, try doing a quick 
test with 100-150 polylines that are representative of the data that 
you're going to be using, and see how slow it goes. For the purposes of 
such a test, you don't need real data. 100 copies of the same polyline 
will suffice.

In fact, let me do that for you:

plots 100 copies of the route from Manchester to Liverpool on top of 
each other.

Try dragging and zooming the map. Notice that the responsiveness in the 
Google Chrome browser is quite acceptable, but in MSIE the movements are 
very slow and jerky. Other browsers come in somewhere between those two 
extremes.
