I have not yet implemented proper preloading of (the) next scene(s).
But even if I do, the transition from one panorama to the next can not be 'instant'.
Even if the panorama is preloaded, it needs to be loaded into memory, digested for the graphics card to use, and 'uploaded' from normal memory to video memory. This is the 'pause' you get when displaying panorama offline. Also see this question and my answer.
It will be quite a challenge to do these steps in the background, without affecting the smoothness of the current panorama display; importing a large jpg from the browser cache just takes a while, and Shockwave does not allow me to do much in that period.
