Doesn't that depend on the good will of other apps to not render anything that isn't going to be displayed ? Do all the other apps even know that they are hidden ? What does OSX's window manager tell all other windows when going to fullscreen mode ?
I don't think the OS tells the app anything - it just doesn't give the app UI events or call it's drawing routines.
