As far as I know python is bit code that runs on a platform for pre-made c++ routines. Also know as an interpreter. This setup will always be slower than C++ since there is another layer to get to the machine code routines. C++ is the most direct unless you learn assembly.
Scichart.com I am not affiliated with them nor derive benefits mentioning them, just a happy customer.
Very nice implementations there , have done similarly zoomale 2d libs via opengl that allow smooth stretching of datapoints and magnitude but not as refined and as many features as there. Only box chart and the other idk how to name chart type.
