As I understood you modify an already realized widget.
I had similar experience, even without grid layout bases some time ago.
What helped me was using:

widget_control,tlb,UPDATE=0 (1)

before (after) the modification.
Thisway the sizes were correct and the speed the changes were
carried out was drastically higher.

Hope that helps,
marc
