  That's assuming the KDirWatch wrapper doesn't introduce a lot of additional overhead when using the QFSW backend. But even so, this would make sense if QFSW doesn't use highly optimised kernel features for watching files.
  
  Also, when I compare the results of a recursive KDirWatch::addDir that adds dirs and files with my optimised implementation that watches only directories, the difference is negligible with the iNotify backend. I don't know that SDK, but one explanation would be that it handles individual file monitoring via a shared monitor on the enclosing directory.
  
  I did introduce a small inaccuracy in the commit message: the test gcc source tree is not on a HDD but on an SSD (mounted over USB3 and Thunderbolt). The results loading the project from the internal HDD are worse:
