  In my last tests (admittedly in an NSImage(View) where I combined 
several NSImages into one whole one, PDF was abysmally slow, though. 
Pixel formats have the advantage of rendering a lot faster (no 
surprise there). It's not that important for dynamic stuff like 
bounding boxes, but for more complex stuff like images I wouldn't yet 
recommend PDF. But try it out yourself. That was a while ago and I 
had to be backwards compatible with 10.3 -- YMMV.
