Making tile sizes on OS X 1024x1024, which is the same size as Safari. If we change the tile sizes to 1024x1024 on a retina 15" mbp, we no longer checkerboard while scrolling treeherder.

From a conversation with Jeff, On high dpi devices on OS X, we should make tile sizes the same as Safari. However, until we can use tiles for scrollable content only, we'd waste a lot of memory generating large tiles for non-scrollable content.

I should clarify, I forgot to re-enable APZ, we still checkerboard.

Two Profiles with OS X 10.10:

Spend a lot of time painting:

nsDisplayButtonBorderBackground
nsDisplayText
nsDisplayTableBorderBackground

Also spend a lot of time generating display lists.

Here's treeherder on Windows 7:

Still a lot of time displaying text. It looks like flushing is just very expensive... Not sure why.
