All:
Is there any talks of having a module that uses the videocards’ GPU to accelerate raster operations (draw calls, bitmaps, etc…)? This would rock - and my application would speed up tremendously!

On Windows at least there may already be some acceleration depending on your video driver, since wx uses the standard GDI and GTI+ APIs. On Mac it is similar, and on *nix it will be whatever GTK uses which will vary by version. (The newer versions use Cairo for drawing, and Cairo is supposed to start using hardware acceleration one of these days.) For anything beyond that you'll need to use something like OpenGL or one of the toolkits that can front-end OpenGL.
