[Interest] Qt 5.8 performance regression in android application

[Лагнер, Сергей]

Hi, Tomas.

Your notice is very valuable. Indeed, we have significant amount of http
requests and
we start them right after page has been created. Therefore if it costs
much, transition
animation can freeze.
One thing I can not understand. I thought Qt makes almost all network
calculations in a
background thread. Is it not true?

Do you know the fix is going to be backported to 5.8? Or can I work around
it?
As I see 5.9 is not ready yet.

One more thing, I can't find jira ticket about this regression. Can you
share it?
