Hi everyone. overviews sound interesting to me. I don't know either if there exists a standard, but the GDAL way to go sure is the more widely accepted/supported. I've had a look at the GDALADDO tool: overviews can be internal to the GeoTIFF or external (.ovr file). The latter is the option used by esri's ArcMap. Personally I don't like either the idea of modifying the original tif file.
There might be some GeoServer or GeoTools code that creates overviews, I'll try to find out something more. I hope reading/writing the overviews won't imply that we will need to dump the JAI image drivers for something totally new...
