perhaps you can try to profile it and see where it spends most time, after a 
short look at it, perhaps onls some sorting or loop is of the wrong order 
( O( n^x ) where x is too high... ) and you would not have to understand all 
of it...

i never profiled anything under windows, so when it is not possible there, try 
to crosscompile qt fro windows with mingw under linux or something.
