For instance a customer use 316 panoramas into it's tour and the load of xml take 8 to 10 seconds (black screen) on a standard ADSL connexion before the display of the player.

Less than 2000Kbps is a very limited connection for tours.
Better ADSL connections are over 8000Kbps

Is it better to create more tours with less groups and panos to ensure faster load or doesn't it matter?
Thanks for your advise.

But because only the parts need to be transmitted which you actually see on-screen it doesn´t matter too much how much scenes you have in the tour.
I tested it via my iPhone`s cell-phone conection - open and view a tour with 34 scenes was the same speed as a mini-tour of 3 scenes.
MUCH influence has the kind of compression you use in PTP. I use JPG 7 for having a good compromise of data-size and speed versus quality. 9 or 10 makes some difference - but it´s a hardly visible improvement and produces much more data to transmit . .
