Not really. It's 1/32 of the former reallocation only if you move your
mouse slower than 1 pixel/frame (assuming everything is fast enough,
otherwise you have to move enven slower). In real life, you move far
faster and so loose much of the benefits of your 32-pixel-at-a-time
allocations.
Just allocating once the maximum size (i.e. the size when the mouse
cursor is at the bottom-right corner of the screen) seems a much better
strategy.
