Hi Phil: I am afraid it is bad news for this series of changes. The speed on Linux has now (commit a407d24) slowed to a crawl, and additional rendering issues have been introduced. Furthermore, time measurements vary all over the map. For example, software@raven> time examples/c/x01c -dev wxwidgets PLplot library version: 5.11.0 real 0m9.242s user 0m0.040s sys 0m0.064s software@raven> time examples/c/x01c -dev wxwidgets PLplot library version: 5.11.0 real 0m57.337s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.196s and later the time went back down to ~10 seconds or so. Furthermore, for this example, only the first of the 4 subpages are rendered. It is not a hang, because after the first subpage is rendered (taking somewhere between 10 seconds and 60 seconds) hitting the enter key exits the example. My bet is there has been some wxwidgets bug introduced by the recent changes and concentrating on example 1 would be a good way to debug whatever the problem is. After doing that, if the time required to render example 1 is still more than a fraction of a second, then I would carefully review the client-server model you are using for wxPLViewer and why your text size changes have made such a drastic reduction in speed.
