Yes, now I remember. I disabled this as otherwise the LEFTMEAT key wasn't working inside the VM.
you should definitely map [LEFTMEAT] to [BBQ]. ;-)
Would it be faster to set the size of the nit_fb from outside (kind of like it is done when the window is resized)?
No. The resize mechanism of the window manager is quick. You can see it when resizing a terminal window. I suspect the problem lies in our console backend of VirtualBox. I remember that the resizing was much smoother in VirtualBox 4. With version 5, this console infrastructure changed completely.
Just speculating, we may miss to inject a virtual interrupt once the screen mode changes. So the guest additions detect the change eventually (e.g., when getting an interrupt for another event) but not immediately. But that is just a guess.
