i've wondered about that too. since it's not stored in memory but "windowed"
and also stored in a special file format, i would guess that they do a
combination of quad-tree like representations. for GIS work, 300Kx300K files
are nice, but not large enough. i have the 1m/pixel aerial photographs of
the entire state of NY on my workstation and would like to do large scale
maps. i also have 10m/pixel elevation data for the entire state that would
make a great shaded relief map. photographer's image processing demands are
peanuts.

Photoshop CS supports 300k x 300k pixels.
That's a 500Gb file before you even start processing it. I wonder how
they tested it?
