Painting at the new size (and thus the large cpu usage) only happens after the user releases the mouse button though, no? Resizing it smaller again shouldn't be difficult. Another way to get around the CPU usage would be to ensure that the graphical icon doesn't go beyond a certain size (which would make sense especially for raster graphics) but allow the applet to be resized so that the user can make more text visible.

The minimum screen size is 800x600 and according to wikipedia the current largest DVI resolution is 3840x2400. 256 pixels is therefore somewhere between 7% and 32% of the screen width. Choosing any other value will still have a huge variance what the visible maximum turns out to be...

I won't push this, but setting a maximum size for no good reason doesn't really seem right. And if there is a good reason, it's likely general to all applets and should probably dealt with in plasma.
