Threads are handled by the OS. GUI are (usually) handled by a lower-level lib like GTK or such. DB access mostly rely on the particular RDBMS. So we're left with the application code itself - the glue between all these componants. There's usually nothing really "intensive" here, and I wouldn't bet using C++ instead of Python would make a huge difference here - wrt/ perceived performances at least.
