It looks like this gigapan is a "competing" solution. But in Flash.
8Mb is easy peasy. There are some much larger images in there now.
My current problem is with how to resize pictures that are 50+Mb in file size without the server dying with memory errors. Poor VM. The downloading part is easy. The resizing is harder.
Nice interface, pretty snappy over DSL with the samples... but umm, it's 2012, my *phone* takes 8Mb images http://www.flickr.com/photos/eichin/7619615982 ; have you checked out this code on anything that actually deserves the term "massive"? (I'd suggest grabbing stuff from http://gigapan.com/profiles/eichin but I'm not sure there's a way to download, there's custom software that cooks them up from hundreds or thousands of individual camera jpgs...)
