If you use the special eValid commands to resize a window these actions are done 100% in the local machine, so at least in concept they do not affect the measured performance of the web application.

This assumes that there is no new material delivered by the server due to the change in visible are as you increase (or decrease) the size of the window.

We have seen some applications that, using internal JavaScript, can sense when the window size changes, and modifies the screen data accordingly. Think of any of the mapping applications, and imgine what happens when you expand the window. In such cases the JavaScript commands loading of additional material (the map images). Those actions WILL affect web application performance because they do eat up additional bandwidth.
