Bonus question: Does the amount wasted change if I have a window with controls in it open?

Yes, if those controls are actually *doing* anything.

In other words... if you apps does any idle time processing (changes GUI element, timers, etc.) then you will have non-zero CPU time. If the GUI is just sitting on the screen, unchanging, then you application should take no CPU time. I believe even if the window is moved (not resized) or obscured/unobscured your app should take no CPU time (windows in Mac OS X are fully buffered).
