KmlLayer (and FusionTablesLayer) should load more quickly and perform better than equivalent numbers of native gmaps markers/polygons/ polylines for large numbers of objects since they generate tiles at google's servers. There is the overhead of generating the tiles, but they will be cached (unless you use cache busting techniques). YMMV. -- Larry > Thanks for your help!
