Then I'd expect the performance to be pretty similar.

I did contributed to wx.plot a good while back, adding double buffering, 
so I think it does pretty much the same thing as FloatCanvas when it 
draws -- it's all about the same really -- you need to transform your 
points to pixel coords, and draw to a bitmap with a DC, then blit the 
bitmap to  the screen -- not much to it.

If you are updating a lot, and performance is an issue, you could strip 
out the double buffering, but I'm not sure you'd notice the difference.
