<p>Dirwatchers off:</p>

<p>deferred dirwatcher creation:</p>

<p>Those 85 seconds are spent "beachballing" because KDirWatch::addDir() blocks the event loop (a true busy wait with the CPU running at 100%).</p>
<p>Overall process timing for that last run, when calling Quit (Command-Q) as soon as the dirwatcher creation started (= processed just after that completes):<br />
<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">246.719 user_cpu 13.199 kernel_cpu 4:25.29 total_time 97.9%CPU</tt></p>
<p>In other words: destruction of the KDirWatch instance is probably even more expensive than the addDir() call. More precisely:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">kdevplatform.filemanager: Deleting dir watcher took 162.723 for project "gcc-7.2.0-MP"
kdevplatform.shell: All projects imported in 7.937 seconds
kdevplatform.filemanager: Project dir monitoring is enabled for project "gcc-7.2.0-MP"
kdevplatform.shell: creating dir watchers and/or starting parse jobs took an additional 84.48 seconds
kdevplatform.filemanager: Deleting dir watcher took 160.892 for project "gcc-7.2.0-MP"
245.998 user_cpu 13.800 kernel_cpu 4:23.85 total_time 98.4%CPU</pre></div>
<p>Those almost 3 minutes to close the gcc project are also spent outside of the event loop, and with the CPU running at 100%. There's a built-in way to defer KDirWatch destruction: using deleteLater() but even then it will still take place on (and thus blocking) the eventloop.</p>
<p>Note to self: this NSLog message may be related to KDirWatch/QFSW not working properly on Mac:<br />
