For the tme being you need to work with either a machine with loads of RAM or smaller images. Some work to see if TCL's handing can be improved in this regard would also be a good idea. I agree it's a serious problem, stacho doesn't seem entirely convinced yet.
No comment. You can try, if you do not believe. The only solution is writing Tcl extension in C...
I didn't mean that writing it would not be difficult, I meant that the problem of not being able to zoom large images is a serious useability problem for real users (we have <10 I am aware of and two of them have complained already :-) . You suggested 'buy a bigger machine', which is OK up to a point but I'd much prefer making the software smarter. I realise that this is not easy.
