  Well, it's hard to say.  I think it's slower on average actually.  It's very 
different in design as you might have noticed.  Instead of clearing the list, 
we do this:

- iterate through and find any deleted items, pushing them onto a trash stack.
- clear the trash stack
- iterate through the data/vector objects and find anything that we aren't 
displaying, adding them in
- update() any other items that weren't touched.


I'm in the process of converting the dataobject vector and scalar lists to 
maps as we discussed before.  I started to use QDict but it seems to be more 
messy than using QMap, and not that much more efficient.  I'll convert scalar 
stuff first, commit, then if it looks clean, do vectors next.
