Years ago Scott Raney once suggested to me that for resizing images:
make sure your code is not using a ratio algorithm that resets in a
loop, in succession, the height and width.
Instead, use an algorithm that changes the complete rect values with all
4 params and then the screen update for the change in size is 1/2 the
time or even orders of magnitude faster... I haven't tested this in a
long time though...
i.e. if you a drag window, do not do this kind of thing:
set the width of image Y to [whatever]
set the height of image Y tto [whatever]
instead get your values ahead of time
then do this
## pseudo code
put x into width
put y into height
set the rect of img "house" to (0,0,x,y)
might help... but yes, we really need smoother animation at all levels
of LC.

Besides locking the screen, also lock messages. I'd avoid
deleting/recreating everything too, it would be better to just resize
the existing controls, which is much faster. If that isn't possible
for some reason, group as many child controls as possible and delete
whole groups.
