Do all graphics in a graphics layer draw regardless of map extent? I draw points using SWFs as picture markers; currently the feature count can range from 75 up to just over 1500 at a time. Map interface redraw functions (pan, zoom, etc.) degrade as the number of features increase, but performance seems to improve nominally as the map extent shrinks.
Does the API draw only the graphics in the visible extent, or do all graphics draw regardless of extent?
