Latest Polymorph has theme-handled drop shadow support when carried by hand.
Doesn't help grabbing faster since for the cached form it needs to draw the window on the cached form and also redraw the world without the window as a submorph. Dragging more complex windows will always be slower to initially respond, unfortunately.
