Hi @Andrea

WOW! Infinite loop to just sleep and process events. Why not just start a timer of PreciseTimer and allow the events to flow freely in the thread? Since you want it to run as fast as possible you can even set the timeout to 0 to run freely when there are no events.

You can then look at thread->requestInterruption () and the thread will comply! Just make sure if you are doing something in a loop in the timer callback you check thread ()->isInterruptionRequested (). And best of all... NO CHECKING THE EVENT QUEUE!

There is a nice writeup about proper thread use at: https://mayaposch.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/how-to-really-truly-use-qthreads-the-full-explanation/

You are basically there with your code. Just the loop is wasteful.
