I have a rather naive question...

Recently I brought down the newest version of xloadimage (hot stuff, I
had more fun that I have had in weeks).  For something really *cool*
to do, I made the red dragon gif image my root background -- looks
great.  But I am puzzled by something.  When I move, let's say an
icon, it disappears and reappears with no perceptible difference in
reponse over what it would have done with a bland background.  When I
uniconfy the icon, however, it slowly erases the icon from the bottom
and when it is done is pops up the window as handy as you please.  I
am using mwm on a SPARC SunOS 4.1.  Could someone explain to me the
difference?
