Thanks Eric,
I may be doing things a little bit weird since I've been with matplotlib for
many years. I did two things that fixed my problem: I wiped python25 out
completely and install enthought (with an older pylab). During the wipe I
noticed an extra pythonw running in the task manager that I had to kill. It
may be that this thing was a corrupted version of wx running in the
background, messing everything up. I may try reinstalling at a later date to
see.

hmm. I know at one point I was doing a window Refresh() which was slow. Then
I discovered pylab.show() which drastically sped up my plotting (I made a
program that modifies colorbars in real time and this really helped). Maybe
the next and final step is "pylab.draw()"? :) Sorry if my code is hacky. I
figure most of my stuff out using pyshell's autocomplete to play.
Incidentally, since these commands work fine.
Thanks again! (now back to work for me)
