Some crazy AT-SPI2 delay related to Qt/KDE accessibility

[chrys]

Howdy Joanie,

hehe, no its ok to me. What KDE/ QT version are you using? i us latest 
KDE 5.14.1 with QT Qt 5.11.2. you can see this by type "qtdiag-qt5" in 
terminal. its the first line in output. also working with orca seems to 
be very smooth here.

I dont see the lag here (but i keep on track), here my output:
