There's a preference to turn on ImageSegment swapping of projects. I 
have not used it recently, but I did use it heavily for several years 
to deal with a very large demo image, and it worked swiftly and 
perfectly.
      "One of these days" we will get around to making the Squeakland 
plugin image automatically swap with image segments (it's not that it 
is difficult to do, it's that it should be tested under any and all 
conditions so that the novice users don't get zapped -- and we don't 
have time right now).

Cheers,

Alan
