[Qt-interest] Updating the TableWidgetItem slows down the operation significantly.

[Yong Zhang]

Hi Alex,

I tried, and you are right, I found that the signal itemChanged of 
QTableWidget is linked to another function which is time consuming. I 
removed the link and the problem solved.

Thank you very much for pointing me to the right direction.
