I'd probably give a shot then at either including an IDLE event
handler to iterate the reactor as well (if you keep requesting it be
recalled, then it should iterate fairly close to constant time when no
GUI operations are occurring), or putting the wx loop in an
independent thread (as mentioned elsewhere).

The thread approach might work really well but will require that you
control the information flow - but expect a combination of wxPostEvent
for reactor->wx and callFromThread for wx->reactor paths should work.
