Hi.
First chameleon waits for another, i.e. he doing nothing while another will not come to the meeting place. And here semaphore is not necessary.
Most slow place is QEventDispatcherWin32::processEvents()

"first chameleon should wait a second;" this sound like semaphore to me, but I don't know this chameleon problem.
What part of Qt is causing it to be slow ? QThread ? the signal/slot ?

Hi,
Why do you need to use Qt signals/slots ?
Isn't there something more appropriate to this task ?

I have one question to you. Why new syntax of QObject::connect() improve performance for a 5%.
I mean that if in code change
connect( sender, SIGNAL( signal() ), receiver, SLOT( slot() ) );
to
connect( sender, &Sender::signal, receiver, &Receiver::slot );
then code works faster... Why? May be somebody know the answer, I don’t want to read Qt’s code for the answer on this question.
I would guess would be that the first connect is performing a string lookup and validating the arguments at run time. SIGNAL and SLOT are taking the macro parameters and turning them into character arrays.
The second connect is working with function pointers which allows for the compiler validate their existence and ensure that the arguments are compatible at compile time instead of run time.
