That still shouldn't be that slow, if it's one "plot()" call.  Wait -- 
is it one plot call with ONE set of x and y vectors? Or is plotting a 
bunch of separate lines? if so -- then LineCollection is your friend. Or 
FloatCanvas -- I really did make for just this sort of thing, and since 
it's not playing the multiple back-ends game, it's pretty snappy.
