QT widget based UI rendering slow on qt5 when ported from qt4

@linuxsnail said in QT widget based UI rendering slow on qt5 when ported from qt4:
Does this mean that Qwidget can be accelerated as well?
Seems no.

IIRC, DirectFB provided some hardware acceleration depending on the graphic chip you have at your disposal but don't expect NVIDIA Titan X acceleration performances.

For qt4.8.1 and 4.8.7 my compile configurations are similar.

If you are seeing a slowdown between Qt 4.8.1 and Qt 4.8.7, you should compare the code of both backend to see what's going on.

What software acceleration do you have in mind ?

@SGaist i just want to understand can opengl or svg libraries be used without gpu or any other backend like directfb can improve performance rendering apart from linuxfb
-
You can use mesa for software based OpenGL rendering (don't expect hight performance).
SVG is not a screen rendering backend.
IIRC DirectFB should be faster than plain LinuxFB.

You have the complete list of backend available here.
