I think the question was more about measuring CPU and GPU performance 
than memory. Do you happen to have those numbers?

This point about memory usage however is extremely valid, and amongst 
other things shows that allowing styling in QML itself is hard if not 
impossible due to the QObject bloat (and privileging composition over 
vertical integration for "simple" UI elements makes you pay a lot for it.)
