The QuicktimeVR file is parsed once (the first time it is opened) and 
the resulting XML file is cached to the server. On subsequent calls, the 
cached XML is used, but the image tiles are still loaded from the 
quicktime file.

The script is available from www.fieldofview.nl/spv-dev/projects/qtparser

Well, the script is open source, so if anyone wants to rewrite it for 
ASP or JSP, they are more than welcome...
