If you want to support just 10.4, this seems like a perfect opportunity to use Quartz Composer to me.

Hi,

I'm working on a screen saver. It involves scrolling text across the
screen. I'm using the simplest algorithm I could  think of: calls to
NSString drawAtPoint:withAttributes: with the point moving a fixed
offset at each call to animateOneFrame. This works Ok at low scrolling
speeds, but at higher speeds (i.e. a larger offset), the motion
appears jerky.

I'm working on improving my code to minimize the amount of computation
in animateOneFrame. However, if anyone can suggest a better algorithm
for scrolling text, I'd appreciate it.
