Layers are composed into their own backing stores, so you can accumulate data 
there rather than recalculating it every time you need to repaint.

That said, you would need to use a layer hosting view rather than a layer 
backed view, which might put you at a disadvantage from where you started.

I don't believe you're actually allowed to mess with the web view's scroll view 
hierarchy; the web view comes with a prepackaged scroll view, unlike say 
NSTextView.

It sounds like the overlay window is the best bet.
