The compiler improves performance in two ways: it does things at
compile-time instead of startup time. And since GCC or clang is producing
the machine code instead of the Qt JIT, it has better machine code, so it
improves overall performance.

But if your app performs well with JIT or interpreted it won't preform
preceptively better with the compiler. If your app is small enough that QML
overhead doesn't matter then you won't notice any difference. Or maybe your
app is network-bound, obviously compiling QML doesn't make the Internet go
faster. Etc.
