Okay, let's try some new wxWindows methods, Freeze and Thaw and see if they
help.

        if used or (not self.hideUnused.GetValue()):
            self.msgHistory.Freeze()
            while self.msgHistory.GetLastPosition() > 29000:
                # delete first line of history
                self.msgHistory.Remove(0, self.msgHistory.XYToPosition(0,
1))
            self.msgHistory.Thaw()
            self.msgHistory.AppendText(eventText)
