I certainly don't want to distract you from rendering performance, but as long as you have your head in the selection indication code I wonder if this might become possible in v9:

Selection Handles: Make selection border optional
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17676

The dashed border around selected controls certainly makes their selected state clear, but it also obscures the object's own border, sometimes making it difficult to visualize placement or changes to border treatments until I deselect it.

I kinda liked how it used to be, where the only indicators added to a selected object were the interactive handles, leaving the rest of the object visibly the same so we could evaluate changes made to it as we were making them.

But I recognize the change to alter the border treatment on selection was probably made for a reason, so if that reason is still important maybe that could become optional?
