I tried it, and yes, setWantsLayer:YES on the scroll view makes it work.
However, it only works for reasonably small document views; for larger
views, I get either
-[_NSViewBackingLayer(0x172c0cf0) p={0, 0} b=(0,0,817,1.00355e+06)
superlayer=0x15f9b400 display]: Ignoring bogus layer size
(817.000000, 1003552.000000)
or
CoreAnimation: 817 by 6848 image is too large for GPU, ignoring
CoreAnimation: rendering error 500
So it seems that the CATiledLayers feature which the release notes talk
about doesn't seem to work. Or is there something I have to do to
enable it?
For now I'm back to animating it manually using NSAnimation, which works
just fine; although it does look a little less smooth (and results in a
lot more CPU load, of course).
