Slow image download in PTViewer/IE

I have the following theory about this problem:
To remove the image size limit in Netscape, I am loading
the panoramic image in chunks of 500k Pixels. On IE this
results in several downloads of the whole image file.
Eg, if the image is downloaded in 3 chunks, IE downloads
the whole image three times, for unknown reasons.
I suggest to set the maxarry parameter so that IE loads
the image in one piece. The following piece of javascript
code should do that:
<script language="JavaScript">
if (navigator.appName != 'Netscape')
document.write('<PARAM name=maxarray value="5000000">');
</script>
It sets the size to 5M Pixels on any non-Netscape browser.
I hope this solves the problem.
