Well, actually it doesnt, but if you think in strict object-orientated 
terms is better design-wise (then again one could argue that a slow 
design isnt a good design ;) ). Anyways KPorts isn't the really the 
issue. I can change that, but the time-difference clearly states that 
there is something bugged in qt-4.4.0.

It would be really great if someone could try the test-case I wrote and 
ideally also try on GNU/Linux to see if the behaviour is different 
there.

Performance is bugged on FreeBSD and a low-level Qt-Performance-Problem 
could explain many of the problems we are encountering. E.g. JuK takes 
5minutes to even show the application window on my system :(

Please have a look into this issue.
