I've never noticed any lag and I've had some pretty intense resizestack 
handlers. If you are game to post a script, or even just some 
pseudocode, I'm sure we can help. Managing a single growbox should be 
almost instant. If you have liveresizing turned on, it could slow things 
down because the resizestack message gets sent repeatedly. Even so, 
managing only an object or two shouldn't make much difference.
