In QtCreator it uses "Make" to do the compile and by default it will only use a single thread Where Xcode would by default use all your cores to compile. You need to add a "-jN" to the "make argument" in the "Project" tab of QtCreator. Where "N" is the number of cores on your computer. That will speed things up.
