Saying that, I've found that the CPU requirements of the raw drawing code (even with relatively fast refresh rates of 20-25 FPS) pales into insignificance when compared to the objective-c messaging overhead of co-ordinating the redrawing. Cocoa seems to need to do a lot of leg work with respect to view drawing.

Just to clarify that last sentence. I'm referring to the CPU requirements of drawing relatively simple graphics e.g. bezier paths, filled rects and some CGLayers (not 10,000 X 10,000 areas of noise!).

Anyway, glad I learnt all about CIImage!

Thanks,
Stephen
