I appreciate your sample here…it has proven especially useful with smooth zooming/panning of high res images (medical grade). Keep up the good work!

@Tom,

Thanks for the feedback – I have experienced that problem before, where a Silverlight application eats up all the available CPU time, starving the browser UI. However, it does not happen for me with the application on this page. It is something I definitely intend to look into.

Regards, Colin E.

Interesting, but what makes the SL UI responsive seems to make the browser UI unresponsive…? I was just playing with the second embedded SL instance here. As I added more lines, it would take longer to switch to a different browser tab by clicking on the tab. Also, the mouse wheel stopped working. If I clicked Reset in the SL app, things would work normally again. The first embedded SL instance shows 0 lines. My environment is SL4 on FF 3.6.3 on Windows 7.
