The usage scenario fits my needs, that is the reason to evaluate exactly 
this way.

I mean - should the QScriptEngine be deprecated, the 
QQmlEngine/QJSEngine should also have ways to utilize some form of 
JIT/preparse. Even in the first pass where JIT cannot be effective (or 
when I parse just the text expression) QScriptEngine beats newer and 
more shiny QJSEngine a lot. That is confusing to me and my point - why 
is QJSEngine offered as replacement of QScriptEngine when it is so much 
slower?
