I was having particular trouble with certain viewers, which caused 
all kinds of havoc when it proved necessary to scroll the window. 
Frequently, the result was a partially-updated view and extremely 
poor performance.  Since I expected most users to use a standard Mac 
desktop with menus and icons scattered all over the screen, I figured 
scrolling performance weighed above the ability to "save bandwidth" 
on a small viewer screen.

If many users are using a very small viewer screen, then I may look 
into a way of reducing the update area, while still reducing the 
scrolling artifacts somewhat.  Please join the queue of requested 
features, outside the door.  :)
