Perhaps not really measurable on modern hardware. Anyways, the real problem with unmapping those windows is that they then need to be set to withdrawn state as well, which may result to some kind of a "pause" logic in several X11 client apps, thus they can react a bit laggy compared to the window move trick, apart from extra X events being generated in various places.
