Network calculations are processing on background thread, but i expect,
that you are creating QNetworkRequest in main thread.
DH calculations are in QNetworkRequest constructor.
You can simple measure how long takes new QNetworkRequest() on 5.6 and 5.8
(android is best testing platform for this due to lack of CPU power)

Current 5.8 is unfixed. Maybe 5.8.1 if it will exists.
5.9 is close to beta and should be ready in two or three weeks (i hope
because i have similar problem)
