I'll bet something along the lines of it's that when the window is on
top/has focus, it gets repaint/redraw messages more often, but when it's
hidden, it doesn't get the repaint/redraw.
Even if a thread is running that paints to a window, if the window isn't
visible, the GDI stuff may get queued or deferred. Sort of like what
happens when you minimize a task that's still running.
