* The CompositeViewer and Viewer should have exactly the same performance characteristics w.r.t managing multiple cameras - as it's exactly the same ViewerBase code underneath that is managing all the threading and graphics rendering.<ref>https://www.mail-archive.com/osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org/msg22273.html</ref>

* CompositeViewer and Viewer share much of their implementation, the only key difference is that Viewer "is a" View, while CompositeViewer has a list of Views.  All the event handling, camera manipulator and scene graph setting is done a the View level so has identical API to access. <ref>https://www.mail-archive.com/osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org/msg17372.html</ref>
