Hello All,

As I'm investigating on which drawing techniques to use for a software I'm planing to create, imagine a kind of vector drawing program (that's not really that but a somewhat similar). In its actual version, all drawing relies on NSBezierPath/Quartz primitives and is really fast. Now, I'd like to use CALayers and CoreAnimation extensively, so my questions are the following:

- Should I take care of not using too much Layers like with NSView (currently I have 1 view that draws all). By too much, in the worst case scenario I could use tens of thousands of layers (or more!) (actually ~one per object drawn)
        - Is there a performance slowdown if I use too many of them?
        - Would it take quite a lot of memory?
        - etc.

Regards.
