I much rather prefer working on tools to properly use QCollator, for example by making it possible to sort things with the sort key instead of QCollator::compare which will be the place where we can actually test performance.

True, but then it can't be used as a 1 on 1 replacement. Since QCollatorSortKey would first have to be generated for every string and stored in the list that is to be sorted (That would be the ItemData struct http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-baseapps.git&a=blob&h=841016138c4a67691177ae9d759eae6399adc762&hb=7dde35ccb97ac2958e45fe6b0759901e02d5e5e3&f=dolphin%2Fsrc%2Fkitemviews%2Fkfileitemmodel.h from line 299). But yeah, that does seem like a very nice idea and close to an idea that was floating the kfm-devel list ~1 year ago which also involved adding some "precompiled" sort data in that very same structure to speed up sorting.

Anyway, +1 from me but someone else must give a ship it.
