Thanks Domonique, I guess on that basis it could be an issue for EP. Naturally we now have the abaility to add these media types into a tour but if the executed code is detremental then that surely is a programming issue.
What do you think?

Yup, remove the flash logo in the upper left and try again.
Also the wmode, transparent can drive the CPU up on older computers. So you should remove that parameter as well and test.
But the CPU is jumping with the rotation of the flash logo it would appear.
I will say that the tour doesn't really have any adverse effect on my PC. But it is quite powerful. Older computers will suffer under the load.

Thanks Smooth, I will do some experimenting.
Ok I have tried a few experiments. Not sure if this is a real representaion but if I remove the logo and preview the tour the memory usage reduces from about 83000k to 76000k so no dramatic change.
Am I looking at the correct thing in Task Manager - Processes - Memory: Preview.exe *32
If I look at Domoniques website tour link I have a similar value around 90000k but Domonique has no animations.
Maybe I am comparing the wrong thing.
I should say what is an acceptable level of usage?

In Task Manager, you should look at "CPU Time" or "CPU usage".
If these columns are not displayed, you can add them by :
VIEW -> SELECT COLUMNS
Check "CPU Usage" and "CPU Time"
On my system, while running your page, the IEXPLORE.exe process was taking 50% to 70% of "CPU Usage".
For sure, such nice tours (like the one you create) have a cost to pay for, I mean CPU ...
My fear is that for old PCs, the less CPU we use, the better the solution is.
Btw, it is just a remark ;-)

Thanks Domonique, the more remarks the better or else I never learn so thanks for your comments.
I think the main problem I have is that I am using many swf images within each pano, i.e Lens Flare, animated logo, waves effect etc. I guess a combination of all is probably eating up CPU.
