Something i figured out by accident is that QFontMetrics::elidedText is __extremely__ slow in Qt 4.7 and 4.8. I haven't tested it for Qt 5. I did made a patch for it a while back that made it about 200x faster. It was even commited to Qt! Sadly also reverted because it caused a regression somewhere else. I don;t know if the Qt guy for text rendering picked it up further and made a proper fix in Qt 5. In my calculations (on a fast AMD 1100T CPU) it spends about 0.2 seconds (roughly the same for windows and linux) on elidedText for just 1000 lines each consisting of random data with 250 chars. Just so you know if you notice a performance impact after using that function :) _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
