I've completed the Lego panorama I was working on. You can find it here:

Wow I thought PTviewer (Java applet) was slow... That Flash thing shows it
can be worse :)

I haven't been able to directly compare them. The Flash viewer is using 
6 cube face images per scene of 1024x124px each, whereas the largest 
equirectangular image I have that corresponds to the same scene is 
1024x512px. The Flash viewer also has a quality setting that you can 
lower to increase the speed.

I meant 1024x1024, not 1024x124.

Anyway, I just did a test using the same equirectangular image, and 
PTViewer is noticably more choppy. However, this may be due to the fact 
that its default panning speed is faster, and therefore the screen needs 
to be redrawn more frequently. Also, PanoSalado doesn't render 
equirectangular images as nicely: there are lots of wavy lines that 
don't exist in PTViewer.
