adding large amount of data [arcgis 9.x javascript api]

Question

I've got problem, I'm creating map based application, and now I have to add to map about 100 000 graphic points, from coordinates.

I was trying in many ways to do it, but always process of adding points takes about 7-10 seconds, or my web browser just hang on.

is it even possible to add this amount of data to map without having problems with performance?

thanks for any advices!:)

I'm using arcgis api for JavaScript with arcgis server 9.3.1

it is all about browser... and you know that this is the difference between an web application and native application...

when u add more data as 100000 points to map as feature, normally browser hangs up...

the solution:

i hope it helps you...

I'm using right now a REST service, the WMS service was far to slow for this situation. I have to show points in whole region of country, so I can not set dependence between my points and scale, or restrain it with BBOX. Maybe some kind of points generalization? I dont know, cant figure it out somehow

it turns out, that in my case the best option will be displaying data via WMS service as raster.

thanks for help! :)
