Superoverlay Pro include Scheduler application for run of background processes.
In Scheduler you can add Superoverlay project file as task, select launch date/time and scheduling type.

Is there anyway to fix the out of memory problem that happens when I try to load too many maps at the same time?
If I have 20 or 30 maps to process, I can only do them in groups of 5-6 at a time because the application runs out of memory and won't add anymore to the batch.
Is it necessary to load the entire image into memory before it is time for it to be processed?? That seems to be the problem.
Thanks.

Thanks, Matt
1. With Superoverlay Pro Scheduler you can use many of processes. You can distribute project by tasks.
2. Optimizations by memory, by speed of works with ftp etc connections we begin make in next time. Now we extend functions of this application. Next steps it is user-password functions, log file, additional events in Scheduler.
Also users write about good results with new ArcGIS and Explorer versions.

Thanks Valery. It does work very well. I'm trying the Scheduler right now. I can see that being very useful for online maps that get updated regularly.
Here is what I just finished doing with SuperOverlay. About 40,000 tiles alltogether.

I have a suggestion for image output format that is optimized for transparency.
Can you add an option to output a mix of PNG and JPG with the following rules:
- Tiles that are 100% transparent color get skipped completely.
- Tiles that have 0% transparent color get saved as JPG
- Tiles that have >0% and <100% transparent color are saved as PNG with transparency.
This will help because PNG supports transparency but isn't lossy. JPG is lossy but doesn't support transparency. So a mix of the two formats will create the smallest possible SuperOverlay and still have transparency.
Thanks.

Actually, after doing some more experimenting, I found a way to have lossy compression AND transparency at the same time with 8-bit GIF files. That seems to do what I need. So nevermind 
In case any others are interested, here are the file sizes for my little experiment.
Original JPG - 14.7 KB
Regular GIF - 28.5 KB
Lossy (80% quality) GIF with transparency- 12.8 KB
PNG (with PNGOut) - 25.4 KB
