Hum, well. I think ktechlab is slow enough for now. But it would need some tests to see C++ is really faster than python. (NB : perl forever !) I think that very speed-demanding parts should be written in C, not C++ IMHO. I think C++ is a good choice (not QT but that's another problem), it could be quite cross-platform if the code have a good design. Unfortunately I'm not really into the code but I think redesigning the way new components are added would involve some big modifications in the code. Therefore I think a new version would be created in order to "rewrite" the whole code (maybe with some big copy/past carefully read three time). But as I said, I don't know how big this challenge is because I'm not into the code. I think that if this is done, I will read every line commited to understand how it works. My 2 cent.
