Pretty and fast should be possible then.

There is no need for multiple layers of transparent icons. They can be 
collapsed into one layer with a single transparent icon, looking 
_exactly_ the same.

Effects when a icon is actually selected is another story, but that sort 
of thing should not need to impact scrolling.
