Yes, it should be pretty responsive now---ImageView doesn't have to go through a Python layer, so I think it's a bit snappier. It's been a while since I've used Matlab, but at least when I first compared them ImageView was considerably better than Matlab for interactive display of movies, etc. But Tk does have pretty significant limitations; now that the Images rewrite is largely done I'm planning to rewrite ImageView using Gtk. Not started yet, though.
