I advise you to switch to this method, it will also give more clarity to the code.

A possible way to optimize this routine then can be storing the pixmap (or even the painter) somewhere to prevent at least one painting cycle to be performed each time the overlay is painted - this way the same painter will be used to paint all the icons, which is not really the most lenghty part, but it's still something.

If the routine is used VERY frequently, I advise you to load the pixmap through KIconLoader instead of getting it straight from the icon and see how it goes - IIRC, KIconLoader performs slightly better than straight KIcon conversion when talking about pixmap, but this is really dependent on how many times you are calling such a routine and how it is critical for it to be fast. Surely such a modification should give you a good speed bump: now you are loading one pixmap less per cycle, which is quite an expensive operation. Ideally, you should never load pixmaps in the drawing phase, but it looks like you can't avoid loading at least one in this case.

I obviously fail at copying&pasting: of course I meant

painter->drawPixmap(15, 15, m_errorPixmap);
