Stefan,
Are you saying you're using a gr_sig_source straight into the FFT sink? You
should probably put a gr_throttle block in there since you have nothing else
rate-limiting the flowgraph.

It's not a surprise that the Qt sinks are more efficient, though. The
wxPython has a lot of stuff implemented directly in Python where as the
QtGui is almost entirely done in C++.
