It oddly _does_ sound like the distinction I myself see in X11 if
Compositing is not used, and "SaveUnders" are disabled: this would
constantly use X calls to render any newly-visible portion of a window
on-demand at the time it was made visible. This seems like your Aero
disabled, relying on GDI to keep drawing stuff vs having a 'window in a
framebuffer already painted' ready to move into place on a higher graphical
level.
("Save Under" is an X11 backing-store feature that allows a window to draw
itself behind another window known to be covering the current application
in Z depth, saving that particular drawing to be shown when visible if I
understand it correctly)
Myself? I can't live without compositing; tearing and jaggy graphical /
video redraws almost always come to bite me daily.
