Craig: the example domain i mentioned is a dataset of all Corporations in Sweden, with ownerships and board members. I only ever used a subset, so i don't know the primitives count of it, perhaps few million in total, probably more a bit more.
Rick: The open layers project uses tiled png images, with content pre-rendered on the server. Doing that makes it harder to check for mouse actions on nodes like you say, but there is virtually no limit to how much data we can show without regard for client hardware. I think they use svg for rendering dynamic items on top if the png layer(s).
