CATiledLayer keeps a cache of the tiles that is has requested, and as such will likely use more memory over the short to medium term than a plain CALayer. If memory pressure gets high enough this cache should be flushed however. What problem are you trying to solve and how are you determining memory usage? -- David Duncan Apple DTS Animation and Printing _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
