I must say, I haven't found wx to be slow on Linux at all. Slow on Mac, 
yes, but faster on Linux than on Windows (and getting much much better 
on Mac). The exception to this is the StyledTextControl, which is by far 
much faster on Windows, and with lots of styled text dog-slow on Linux.

Wx does use the native underlying toolkit for the platform (Qt is 
owner-drawn), which can cause some platform inconsistencies.
