Ed,

a) the images I have (100-500 MB) are not yet tiled; and I assume it would 
result in a better performance if they would be.
b) the images form different layers; so each image should be tiled 
separately. And yes: "Or are you trying to divide each of those files into 
smaller rasters and then tile those back together?"
b) I did not succeed in finding the gdaltindex file, which seems to be 
necessary to do the tiling of images.

hmm, I think I read everything concerning the tiling of raster images by
