Yes, I probably should use have surrounded the literal text with QLatin1String. However, using QLatin1Literal is outside the scope of this patch because it is a further optimization work. Literally there are thousands of such changes that need to be made in kdelibs and all those changes need to be done in one go together. More over there are lots of places in kdelibs where strings are concatenated using QString::arg, which is the slowest possible way of accomplishing such tasks. Those also need to be changed. The point being all the optimization work should happen in another set of patches. 

Actually, I have no idea why setting these two these two flags does not automatically result in the conversion of QLatin1String calls to QLatin1Literal ones. That would make the job much simpler. Anyhow, it is outside the scope of this patch to do those changes. This patch is only attempting to make sure turning on those flags lets you compile kdelibs.

For more details about faster QString concatenation, see "More Efficient String Construction" section of QString's documentation.
