[Qt-interest] future of a desktop UI

[Sylvain Pointeau]

Yes I saw the blogs on declarativeUI but I didn't look at the sample
sources.It is definitely something I want to look.

As I largely need a list of a large number of items, I was comparing
yesterday a html table and a list / table QListView and QTableView for
35'000 items.

I wrote an email to the mailing list, because I don't understand why the
list is slow as impossible to use, and the table is fast but slow to scroll
depending if we are at the beginning or at the bottom of the list. Do you
have an idea why?

other thing is that a browser opens an html table (35'000 rows) immediately,
but Qt webkit opens it in 6 secondes (Arora is the same). Please do you have
some insights why it could be slow with Qt webkit?

Many thanks,

Cheers,
Sylvain
