  I still don't understand... imagine I have a class, MyView, that
subclasses NSView. Where do I draw exactly?

  Thanks for the suggestions about the drawing rect, I'll look into
that. I do a lot of text height and width calculations, and I will also
try to cache those results, and only re-calculate them if needed.
