Here's a suggestion for one: the Creator C++ parser. I remember Roberto had 
some benchmarks for this, though I don't remember if the benchmarks were 
threaded as well. I know that the actual parser in Creator is threaded via 
QtConcurrent.

Another one might be the threaded scene graph.

I recommend using the Linux perf(1) tool for benchmarking[*]. The benchlib 
tickcounter mode works too, but perf provides more information in the results. 
I'll be surprised if the cost of the function call shows up as more than 1% 
when parsing a medium-sized project (such as a small Qt library like QtSvg or 
QtDBus).

[*] I've got a perf-mode for benchlib as a pending feature for Qt 5.1
