Opaque move/resize is just fine on my 266mhz laptop, and on SunRay
thin clients. Your 1ghz CPU must be rate-limited. Be sure you aren't
confusing redraw synchronicity problems with redraw speed problems.

That said, some crap proprietary apps can't handle a lot of resize
events, so metacity has wireframe under implementation on a branch in
CVS. The patch that's out there (in Sun/Ximian and attached to the bug
report) is broken in a few ways.

The implementation does indeed make a fair mess out of the source
code, sadly.
