I assume this is because of the dropping of QRegEx when parsing the column.
When you open the config dialog the speedup should be even better than x2.

Have you checked what happens by enabling/disabling threads?
Could you have a look into the Log dialog?

Nice to hear ;)

OK, some fiddling with designer.

You could define the format of the time, e.g. suppressing the year
at the printed time, e.g.:
17:00.01 [min]
by selecting "QDateTime format string" in the combobox and using the
string "hh:mm:ss"
