I'm pretty much done with my application and am very happy with this pano viewer. It works really well. However, it appears to be very very memory hungry. Going through a handful of panos invariably crashes my app. I've packaged my app using PhoneGap and have a stand along app that way. I can also access it in mobile safari, and, short of some spacing issues, it works (and crashes) the same. You can access my virtual tour at this link:

Tap the welcome link, then the "interactive virtual tour" button in the bottom left, then select an icon on the map and that will load up a pano and start spinning it. Go through a few of them, and it'll crash. Note that the pano spins MUCH smoother and crashes much less frequent on an ipad 2. But we still have to get it working well on the ipad 1.
So does anybody have any thoughts? Is there anything glaring that I'm doing wrong? What would you recommend doing to improve performance such that it doesn't crash? My panos are currently six sides, 1000px square. I've experimented with that making them 750px, 500px and 250px in different tests and that doesn't seem to have any impact.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
