I submitted jdc bug/rfe #4193162 (now closed that outline dragMode was added). In that RFE I asked for a resizeMode property to be added, so that dragging & resize modes could be selected separately (and set to outline).

The Swing team decided to just add the outline resize behavior when dragMode was outline (like I had to do in the hack I posted).... Nice but now that dragMode faster is here RESIZING IS SLOW USING FASTER dragMode. Basically, what I think should be offered is the fastest JInternalFrame dragging AND the fastest resizing AT THE SAME TIME. You cannot get this because you must choose either:

1) dragMode - outline which uses outline mode JIF dragging and resizing or

2) dragMode - faster which uses nice fast blitting for JIF dragging but the slow JIF resizing of the default desktop mode (contents of JIF dynamically repainted during resize... too slow for busy desktop with large JTables, etc.).

So, I guess I'm asking for some way to get dragMode - faster & resizeMode - outline.... Looks like a separate resizeMode is really needed now.
