In addition to the previous posts it also depends on the type of marker that you use. The default google.maps.Marker has a lot of function but also a relatively complex structure which takes more processing power to render. In contrast to that there is a variety of lightweight markers which are - as the name might suggest - lighter and thus more of them can be shown simutaneously.
But as a general rule you should try avoiding overlapping markers. The more marker overlap, the less a user can distinguish between them which leads to a bad overall experience.
