Without clustering the map is too slow to be usable. The clustering
algorithm creates a grid and uses the large marker whenever there
are more than a (configurable) number of markers in a square. I'll
try refining the grid a bit and upping the number per grid to see
what happens. For usablility, the goal is to keep less than about 150
markers on the screen at a time.
One idea I had was to overlay the number of people represented by a marker
to the center of the marker.

Is this really a concern? All the public knows is that an anonymous DD
lives within 1km of that spot (actually about .7km east-west at 45 deg
N or S).
