That's great.  The number of overlays I'd create would certainly be less
than 1000.

I wondered if the simple overlay layout that I described would have less
of an effect than if they were scattered about and intersected in many
different ways.  But if it takes thousands to affect performance, then
that doesn't really matter for my case.

Thanks again!
