Hi:

I'm searching how i can configure openbox to not be drawing the windows while i'm moving it. I can't find it so i'm guessing it doesn't exist.

It would be very nice if openbox had an option for it, like in Win98 or Metacity with the mode "reduced resources" on - it just draws the borders to where you're moving the window.

This would use much less CPU and/or Ram i'm guessing.

Once again, it would be a great feature to enable for low spec-hardware :)

This has been asked for before.  It requires locking the X server which generally sucks, so we haven't done it yet.  You can however, stop windows from being redrawn while they are resized.
