in my understanding QPixmap uses the graphic system resources while QImage 
uses only QT methods to create the picture. So QImage gives more reliable 
results because the same methods are used on all different operating systems. 
QPixmap uses system methods and may be faster IF the operating system / 
graphic devices driver can use any of the devices hardware acceleration...
