Could you perhaps elaborate a bit how you think that a layer backed view could 
help?

The window overlay sounds like it could work. Hoverer, a NSView overlay would 
be preferred since I'm inserting the overlay in the WebView's scroll view (and 
matching the documents view size via bounds change notifications). This works 
very well when scrolling both the web and overlay view at the same time (and is 
also efficient).
