I was mainlu using CATiledLayer due to the restrictions of texture sizes on Leopard. Looks like those restrictions have been lifted in 10.6 and I can use a plain CALayer for a layer of arbitrary size (if I understand correctly) which solves my problem.

CATiledLayer keeps a cache of the tiles that is has requested, and as such will likely use more memory over the short to medium term than a plain CALayer. If memory pressure gets high enough this cache should be flushed however.
