First of all, upgrade to at the very least 4.8.7. Second, schedule a port to 
Qt 5.

Third, like Jason said, the way to improve performance with stylesheets is to 
make them smaller. Not by removing spaces, but by removing selectors. Use 
stylesheets as little as you can. They're meant for final touches in UIs, not 
for designing UIs.
