Hi. We got pretty good results here by using WMS along with GetFeatureInfo-like queries with Handler.Hover. The features resulting from a query can be added to a vector layer and/or to an external grid with 1:1 interaction between the grid records and the features on the map. We found this to be a good tradeoff between user interaction (vector) and performance (raster).
