Well, that's how I construct my go boards. For comparison I opened the
MineSweeper game and dragged it about. It took about 5 seconds of
dragging on my machine before there was a snag, although the dragging
wasn't all that smooth. Then I made a 30x16 go board to get
approximately the same number of rectangles, and I could drag it around
for 13 seconds without a snag. Looks like a significant difference to
me. :-)
