LiveResize in 6.7.3 and 7.0.3

[Brahmanathaswami]

Years ago Scott Raney once suggested to me that for resizing images: 
make sure your code is not using  a ratio algorithm  that resets in a 
loop, in succession, the height and width.

Instead, use an algorithm that changes the complete rect values with all 
4 params and then the screen update for the change in size is 1/2 the 
time or even orders of magnitude faster... I haven't tested this in a 
long time though...

i.e. if you a drag window, do not do this kind of thing:

set the width of image Y to [whatever]
set the height of image Y tto [whatever]

instead get your values ahead of time
then do this

## pseudo code

put x into width
put y into height

set the rect of img "house" to (0,0,x,y)

might help... but yes, we really need smoother animation at all levels 
of LC.
