Depends of what you need to do.

Regarding speed issue, Qt 4.5 Has lot of speed optimizations, including in the 
stylesheet code. You may want to try to test the Qt 4.5 snapshot to see if it 
fits your need in terms of speed.

Reimplementing QStyle will be in any case is much more performant and 
powerfull. But may be more complex to do.
