Windows, macOS and Linux.

I had the same issue for FileSystemWatcher, where on windows it was

I don't think so. But don't exclude QFutureWatcher. The proper thing to do
is to investigate where the delay you're seeing is really coming from.

There should not be any such delay inherent to QFutureWatcher, on any
platform. I suspect you're blocking event processing/signal delivery
somehow, but only you can answer that. Time all sections of your code to
make sure you're not blocking the UI thread somewhere.

We're using QtConcurrent/QFutureWatcher intensively in our product, running
hundreds of jobs. If there was even the slightest such delay, our customers
would yell like crazy :)
