I guess that PHIGS/PHIGS PLUS can never speed up to support 
what you're demanding. By the time it did, another much better API would
have probably widely accepted.  Maybe PEX can catch up in supporting those
functionalities.  

I seem to have been convinced by Alan Akin that OpenGL superior to PEX in that
there is little need in reformatting the application's data structure for graphics.
Correct me(or him :-)) if I am wrong.

PEXIM is available as contrib software in X11R5.
