Because everything is put into ram, I am hitting a wall. And I need to keep the images large enough to allow users see the page at actual size due to the art design is complex. 

If LC supported SVG and SVG effects, perhaps a vector approach but then is there a limit to how many data points to a path?? One of the biggest disappointments for me in 5.0 is the lack of improved vector support and the styled unicode field. Rev is till stuck in a 1985 bitmap world. Sigh.
