I'v just done the transition from QLabels for the tiles to 
QGV for kmj - this simplifies a lot, especially for kmj where I have
to attach tiles rotated by 90 degrees. Now Usage is quite easy. 
I have a class Board where I can position tiles by specifiying the
position in tile units - independently of the real tile size, like in

        self.walls = [self.wall(angle) for angle in (270, 0, 90, 180)]
        self.walls[0].setPos(xWidth=self.length, yWidth=self.length, yHeight=1 )
        self.walls[1].setPos(yWidth=self.length)
        self.walls[2].setPos(xHeight=1)
        self.walls[3].setPos(xHeight=1, xWidth=self.length, yHeight=1)

This little bit of code draws a Shisen board:

class Shisen(Board):
    """builds a Shisen board, just for testing"""
    def __init__(self):
        Board.__init__(self)
        tile = self.randomTile144() # an iterator
        for row in range(0, 8):
            for col in range(0, 18):
                self.addTile(tile.next(), xoffset=col, yoffset=row)


But I cannot see a noticeable difference in speed.
