Hey,
inspired by the Djakota postig I whipped up a little wrapper around
IIP [1] and VIPS [2]. It is basically the same think as Djakota, but
as a compiled fast-cgi program (rather than Java).
A couple of examples:

The examples use a flash viewer, but you can append &flash=no to the
urls to get a Javascript viewer.
This is beautiful! I'm playing with it on an aging Windows machine,
and I think it's smoother to view a large image via this tool than it
is to open it locally and scroll across it :-)
Does the processing and recompression cause any noticeable lack of
fidelity, do you think? Working from a jpeg original, then converting
to tiff and back again sounds like it might be problematic...
