Others have given you several hints.
I think the point is that Xlib doesn't distinguish between popups and 
other windows. Some higher level libraries are likely to make that
distinction.

If whatever window it pops up over takes a while to draw, you might 
consider checking to see if the hardware supports overlays, and putting
the popup in the overlay, so that the main winow doesn't need to be
redrawn when the popup finishes.
Lots of hardware doesn't support this, so it wont always help,
and I can't point you at any code to do it.
