It would be much more efficient to use NSImageCells instead of
NSImageViews for the images within the main view. In your case, I'd
recommend subclassing NSMatrix for your main view, putting the subclass
into an NSScrollView, and using plain NSImageCells in your NSMatrix
subclass. Unless you're planning to do something special with each
image, then subclass NSImageCell.
