We are using the timeline to display publish dates of books etc. loaded in via JSON. The list of dates can potentially contain 300,000+ items although more likeley to be around 25k. The line is laid out with two bars one for centuries and one for years. To load all these dates into the timeline at once pretty much kills the browser. At the moment ~4000 items seem to just about be okay even if very slow.
is there a way to load the descriptions asynchronously via AJAX as the events are displayed? Ideally we'd still be loading in all the dates (visible) on the century line as this would be needed for navigation, but the details are only loaded when the particular event is shown on the year bar. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible, or how much improvement in relation to the number of items/events that can be loaded we could expect if something like this was implemented?
