RE: creating digital panos

Bob,

This is an extract from the page you suggested:
***************
PERFORMANCE 
..... In other applications, particularly those heavily dependent on
large sequential write operations, FAT32 may result in a modest
performance degradation. The overall effect on raw disk performance is
less than 5% however, and the overall impact on application performance
as measured by WinStone is typically less than 1%. 
*****************
Large picture files fall under "large sequential write operations" where
you can expect 5% degradation in performance.
Otherwise you are right of course.

Norbert
