It would seem you have plenty of processing power, although I'm not very 

Mac-experienced.  Of course the display size will affect smoothness, 

because it determines how many pixels must be redrawn. I encourage you to 

experiment with my earlier suggestions. Also, I'm not sure, but it might be 

faster to reveal the blue rectangle using a mask than to expand it.
