define "the visible objects" when what you have at hand is not a visual object 
at all, but an object whose job is to make an image from some data.

Clearly those who think this is trivial or easy have not actually tried doing 
this, and are not understanding what the problem is here. Of course it's easy 
to call -setQueuePriority:, that isn't the problem. The problem is how to 
decide what it should be set to, when.
