Well, that was my main support.  This happens, once, at the beginning
of a resize operation.  It wouldn't happen at randomish times, doesn't
happen in any sort of loop, and doesn't impose any ongoing cost except
when initiating that one operation.  And compared to the cost of DOING
the opaque resize (or even drawing the wireframe for a non-opaque)...

It could cost a million cycles, and probably not even be measurable.
Noticeable isn't even a question.
