After a chat in irc I understood that the trunc udig doesn't keep jpegs in memory, which doesn't give out of memory problems, but for sure give running out of lifetime problems. This is related to the new geotools and I assume this was a choice, since geotiff and other formats now are greatly enhanced. However I think that the jpeg thing should be thought over again (asking for ideas), because photos are usually best compressed in that format and they take a lifetime to load at every small pan that is made, even at deep zoom, where the prior (RC11) cached version takes nothing to draw again.
