FireFox 3 redraws less than Safari 3 when scrolling subframes Try the attached test case with Quartz Debug enabled. FireFox 2 has our same behavior (of always redrawing the entire scroll area). This study was prompted by a colleague of mine mentioning that one of the Google Web Apps had to switch away from using <div> with overflow: auto due to performance issues, and use iframes instead. It seems it must not have been FF or Safari motivating that switch however. Regardless, we could improve our scrolling behavior here.

Even though my test is bad... Safari redraws more than FF3 in *both* the iframe case and the div overflow: auto case.
