by default, Windows asks the app to re-paint itself constantly while the 
user is re-sizing the window. If it take a while to paint, then this 
will never look good, double buffering or not.

A little googling will help here, but the standard solution is to use a 
wx.Timer to delay the re-paint a bit, so it only happens when the user 
has stopped the re-size movement.
