QtTest vs. QTest

[Thomas Baumgart]

Hi,

an hour ago I read the article https://www.kdab.com/beware-of-qt-module-wide-includes/[1] and saw that it also applies to the KMyMoney code base. So I made that simple change and compared the compile times on the 5.1 branch of the two versions (ran both twice).

QtTest (testcases only) - the original version
real    0m16,376s
user    2m31,903s
sys     0m11,080s

real    0m16,240s
user    2m34,316s
sys     0m11,436s


QTest (testcases only) - the improved version
real    0m13,602s
user    2m4,875s
sys     0m10,391s

real    0m13,626s
user    2m5,270s
sys     0m10,305s


Removing that lower-case T gains around 30 seconds of compile time (user). Not too bad. The difference to the 'real' time savings of about 3 seconds is due to the fact that I run this with make -j13 here on 6 cores with hyperthreading.
