Hi Mark,

I am thinking do similar thing for tree view to solve many cache 
bugs..., but not transfer all of them to AT :)

How much time can we save normally?

Like Will said, Orca only interested in some areas on screen. So in 
'publish' way, we save some time from lower the frequency of IPC calls 
and spend more time on transfer the data (only visible). We need to 
balance them carefully.
