The performance will be bad with Aurorae (worse than with Oxygen). The crashes are now gone as we disabled the multi-threading. My position doesn't change on that: Aurorae is not suited as a default theme. This has just never been considered in the design of Aurorae and makes compromises away from performance. Unfortunately with Qt 5 the performance impact got significantly worse (up to a degree where I thought about git rm it). Cheers Martin
