The big issue with encoding is whether you encode the points
correctly, or just encode them to reduce bandwidth. A correctly
encoded polyline would show less detail of the line when zooming out
and more detail when zooming in. This is controlled by the encoding
level string. Unless this is done, you're wasting the processing power
of the client and probably would be better off not to encode at all.

As Mike pointed out, that many points and lines will most likely be a
painful user experience. There are other ways to display such things,
such as using a tile or image overlay which would be fast and
efficient.
