How does Openlayers render features on a vectory layer? How are they 
represented internally. From my limited understanding of Javascript,
there are no graphics primitives for drawing arbitrary shapes. HTML5 has a 
canvas element that allows  such graphics primitives but OpenLayers
doesn't require HTML5 so I am curious how its done?

Also if I want to display a lot of geometry on vector layers will I run into 
performance problems with the javascript based rendering?
