Without looking at it Robin, sounds to me like you want to do something clever like only keep a 10x10 square around what you are currently looking at through your camera in memory, and then dump out the rest when it's past it's useful point.
Make it alot more memory friendly. If you pick your numbers right, should be no reason why you can't load up images while the user is browsing around - and they shouldn't notice a thing. Just some ideas.
