This is a performance issue -- all those redraws are rather costly.  
Alan is correct, you don't need to reissue the display command when  
you've finished resizing, just hit 'enter'. However, if you really  
want to see your graphic as you resize, enter 'q pos' and while GrADS  
is waiting for a mouse event in the display window you can resize and  
it will continuously redraw the graphics while you are changing the  
window size. You'll have to click in the window when you're done to  
get the GrADS prompt back again in the command window.

Correct.
