As long as you invoke scrolling commands (and that's what the scroll
bar eventually does in Emacs), you will always have the same problem:
scrolling commands cause Emacs redraw all the frames. If the NS port
does that inefficiently, you will see performance hit. The general
assumption in the Emacs display engine is that the absolute majority
of the frame's display will not actually be redrawn on the glass,
because Emacs knows they don't need to. If the NS port violates this,
or if it is too slow to redraw the frame decorations that Emacs cannot
control directly (i.e. it cannot know whether they need to be
redrawn), then the performance you see will be worse than expected.
How many frames do you need to create before just dragging the
scroll-bar thumb slows down enough to be tangible? 2? 5? 10? more?
