I assume you are talking about the resizing behaviour of your own app. You
can gain control of this - see the NSView method inLiveResize, etc.
It can still be painfully slow, though--even when you optimize drawing
and/or remove GUI elements during a live resize. Particularly, a complex
window with a lot of embedded views (divided by split views, say) seems
simply unable to resize responsively, especially on "slow" hardware (like a
dual processor 500MHz G4, or anything not the top of the latest line).
Unless perhaps you "disappeared" most of the window's contents, which in
most users' opinions looks weirder and more disconcerting than
outline-resizing.
My boss recently told me to figure out a way to implement old-style
wireframe resizing in a Cocoa application that exhibits this problem, so
I'd be interested to hear any relevant experiences people have had (about
optimizing resize and/or implementing outline resize for a Cocoa window)...
