Although a displaylist like interface would be very nice, it's
basically not going to happen.
However, I wouldn't worry about drawing the UI elements as a bitmap
too much. Firstly, the number of pixels isn't that large. The
TabStrip, Omnibox, buttons etc probably take up < 5% of the screen,
when Chrome is fullscreen. If we are careful only to repaint that
which needs to be repainted, then most of the time, the new-pixel
delta is much smaller still.
If, even after all that, there are issues with desktop switching
causing a slow repaint etc, then I have other tricks up my sleeve.
