That seems wrong or, at least, weird. You're appending byte-by-byte from the 
file into the string. That can't be fast...

Doesn't std::string have a method that lets you set a full array of bytes 
(pointer and size)? Or, for that matter, doesn't stringstream have it? I 
confess I don't know: the lack of such convenience API is what keeps me from 
using the Standard Library.

Another alternative is for you to derive from std::istream and create your own 
QFile-based stream. Or a QByteArray-based one, to match std::stringstream.

At the very least, to make it more efficient, you should try to use 
QFile::map(). For uncompressed resources, this will save you a memory 
allocation into the QByteArray.
