This is slow even with the patches from bug 1457466, because rendering is slow.

This is a pretty malicious test case. I don't think we need to block nightly on it.

We need to decide how good we need to be at this for release. Let's talk about this next Wednesday.

This now scrolls very smoothly on my machine, with picture caching enabled by default.

It still takes a long time for the initial render, and we do invalidate / re-render on any changes to the scene geometry (e.g. resizing the window, opening devtools). It'd be nice to improve these in the future, but the general scrolling performance is good now, which covers the requirements for this bug.
