I'll need to refigure this out becuase we are trying to load/draw a fairly 
complex page where the scrollview is transparent and there are several 
composited buttons on a an almost full screen view.  I am still curious why 
this would work on OS 3.2 and not on OS 4 and work like butter. I wonder if the 
threads operations were scheduled differently or started from the main thread 
originally. The other place i go this idea was from the advanced iphone 
projects book. 

I am not using image views because there was an issue with performance with the 
number of views and scrolling.
