About 60% CPU for 2 balls on Easy level (but not 100% :-)). With -graphicssystem raster on the command-line, performance was good and CPU went down to about 15%. My CPU is Intel i7 quad-core at 2Ghz. I think the QTimer cycle time could be increased to about 30 msec without loss of animation quality.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">"33" - does that improve things further for you?
The QTimer could be replaced by an object timer and direct eventprocessing (rather than slot invocation - it's a minor overhead only, though)
15% imo seem still far too much on that cpu - could you valgrind it?</pre>

The patch looks bigger than it is, i had to partially fix coding style in order to read through it, sorry.
The MAJOR issue with the code is that it causes recursions on the eventloop by altering graphicsitems from the paint() call ("setPixmap()"), so i scrathced that.
It seems a cause was that a full repaint was forced by setting some invisible fullsize pixmap item, while the only requirement for this was actually when finishing a wall - so i replaced that with an explicit full update call on occasion.
Also all non-raster graphicssystems HATE QPixmap::fill(Qt::transparent) causing a 24bit -> 32bit change and it's esp. bad on the nvidia driver.
So i reduced that (and allocation) by re-using the old (ARGB) pixmap on a 64x64 alignment.
Ian, you might esp. check that impact on OSX.
Last I cached the sprites, seemed reducing cpu on permanent paint (but i didn't really measure)
I'll also mark & comment the actual changes in the diff.</pre>
