With those many points you'll probably need something that makes use of HTML Canvas, and not SVG which slows down if you plot that many elements.

Do you happen to have any recommendations?
For a simple scatterplot with many points I would probably simply use Canvas directly, and perhaps borrow elements from D3 like d3.scale to plot the axis labels. It is possible to use Canvas underneath to plot the 100,000 points, and SVG on top for other stuff like tooltips and brush selecting.
For dense data like that, you might give dygraphs a try.
