I would be very interested in this - maybe you could
post it here (also for the archive ;-).
If possible it would be nice to see this integrated into matplotlib
because this sounds like a replacement of scipy.xplt/pygist's
mouse command (or ppgplot's pgband?).

Best,

P.S.: I agree on the speed issues. Unfortunately
      most of the newer python graphics packages tend to be
      slower than older packages.
      For example scipy.xplt (aka pygist) see
      http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon/software/python/index.html
      is reasonably fast.

      We have set up a PlottingCanvas for wxPython
      for our specific needs of fast plotting of single points
      and moving objects,
        http://www.physik.tu-dresden.de/~baecker/python/plot.html
      But this is by far not a fully featured plotting program,
      though maybe some of the ideas used there to speed
      up things could be used in matplotlib
      (note that I state this with complete ignorance
      of matplotlib's interna).
