I've not used the crazed monkey app, but the maptiler.org just takes an image and creates all the tiles for you and gives you an html page to view it with. It also has some helpful info about map tiles in general. It's a simple solution if you have simple requirements.
I've not used the crazed monkey app. As others have stated, creating the tiles from the data is best, as you will get better rendering of the data that way. You may have to symbolize the data for every zoom level, but it works. I wouldn't mind a tile exporter for something like QGIS.
