Would you be willing to re-run your test using Qt Quick Controls 2?

You can find relevant benchmarks for Raspberry Pi B+ at
http://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/03/31/qt-quick-controls-for-embedded/

See also http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/06/16/qt-5-7-released/ -- "Qt
Quick Controls 1 were targeted at the desktop, and came with all the
bells and whistles required for desktop applications. This implied an
overhead that often made them too slow for usage on embedded devices.
Qt Quick Controls 2 solve these issues." The resource hog was not so
much JavaScript as the graphics stack.
