The 'incl' is the most important.  The self doesn't matter at all (it's 
included in the 'incl' anyway)

I would say that what you have to compare is the 'Incl.' absolute cost divided 
by the 'Called'


Caching the indexOf('[') certainly helps.

But changing from the operator[] to startsWith/endsWith is probably slower 
(the operator[] is inline and fast, while endsWith do lot of comparison and 
don't know that we are comparing only one byte)

I don't know if the static QChar really helps.
