How many points can you add to Virtual Earth?

<p>I hear this question from time to time. Well, there is no hard limit in the API but since the points are added through JavaScript-methods on the client your application will have slower response times the more points you add. A reasonable upper limit depends on the performance of the client-machine as well as the methods you use. Hold on, is there more than one method to add VEShape-objects to a map? Not really but since version 6 you can add the shapes either individually or through bulk-methods.
