i just noticed there Gnocl which is a tk-like binding for Tcl/Gtk+ ... basically it lets your Tcl apps use Gtk+ widgets, and supposedly the API is pretty similar to Tk. This might be an path to look into for speeding up the gui, it might be a LOT less work to port to this than rewrite everything in wx.
Wx has the advantage of giving pd real native widgets on all supported platforms, but gtk+ is portable and is able to emulate natice look pretty well:

i'll add this to my endless list of "things i'd love to look into in depth" :)

On that subject, I'm thinking about (someday) rewriting Pd's whole graphics layer, probably in "wx", to make it faster. I'm hoping not to have to do that until I understand how the whole GUI should work better than I do now.
