No, and it is not backend-dependent, either. And it does not even
require that all of the plots have data--it is the same if only the last
subplot has data. A little experimentation indicates that all the ticks
and tick labels on the other subplots are slowing down the interaction
with the one subplot being navigated.
ax.tick_params(labelbottom=False, labelleft=False)
ax.tick_params(left=False, right=False, top=False, bottom=False)
Insert the above to turn off ticks and tick labels, and it speeds up
nicely. That's not a solution, I realize.
I knew that slowness in the tick and tick label generation was a major
bottleneck in subplot creation, but I did not realize that it had such
an effect on interactive manipulation of a single subplot.
