When you embed images in the exe or in an image list which results in the same, then all images will be loaded into memory as you start the application irrespective of whether they are currently needed or not. I noticed this as I embedded 8 MB worth of Mars surface map data resulting in an "Out of memory exception" error.
Consequently, I decided to load large map images conventionally when they are called for. Embedding images for Image Bottons is a great choice after all.
