I highly doubt this lagginess has anything to do with Python, honestly.
 If you're seeing slowdowns in the areas you state, you'll probably
experience the same issues in the equivalent C++ version.  All drawing
is done by the underlying binary library.

I've made GUIs in GTK and Qt with Python and never had any that was
appreciably slower than C or C++ apps.
