It's less a problem of X and more a problem of Gtk+ taking ages to (re)draw 
things on the screen.

No, that wouldn't make sense. Then you will force people into using Gtk+ for 
everything. If you don't want that, you will reinvent X, more likely worse 
than what we have now, though. Oh and if you're out of luck, it could be much 
slower, since the framebuffer is pretty much unaccellerated.

We're already using it. TinyX is actually kdrive, which is now a part of 
X.org.
