Most text highlighting for large blocks break down into 3 parts, first line, body, and last line. This gives the selection a really nice outline, and also avoids the N^2 computation in the bezier path construction as more and more lines are selected.
Here's an example implementation that assumes the input rects were added to an array before the bezier path is computed:

This can be done waaaaay more elegantly in Swift.
