A42 NSQuickdrawView and old-fashioned Quickdraw seems quicker especially for rendering text. I had a lot of trouble finding clear answers to this issue but it seems that otherwise text rendering is very sophisticated/heavyweight. Eric Pepke’s Mac One-Liner news postings suggested using Quickdraw and my experience in graphing seems to bear it out. It is possible that OpenGL drawing may be faster but drawing text in OpenGL on OSX at present is very painful.
