How to optimize MarkerWithLabel on google maps when having too many markers

I have been developing an application on google chrome, and I've been using the MarkerWithLabel library, which i believe is written by google developers. I am using a little over 100 markers on the map and it seemed to be pretty smooth until i checked in firefox (and lets not even mention IE). It is pretty damn laggy in FF. Any way to optimize it?

To clarify, having 200 regular markers works fine. The problem shows up when using MarkerWithLabel

If you only want a couple of characters inside a pin, another alternative is:

Check this example.
