Actually, you want to handle the scroll bar by remembering the current value,
then, whenever the user moves it, do a ScrollRect with the difference
between the current and the new values, then set your ClipRgn to be
the region computed by ScrollRect, and call the above drawing code. That
way, only the newly visible part will be drawn, which will speed things up
significantly. (I can never remember if you have to offset the ClipRgn
when you use SetOrigin(), I always have to try it once to get it right.)
