Unfortunately, not so much :) It's still a diagnosis. How do you know it's 
going to be faster with OpenGL? Not everything is faster in OpenGL (remember 
it's a 3D api, that we're doing magic with to lay vector graphics on top of 
it). In fact with HighQualityAntialiasing set on the QPainter it's going to 
be slower. 
Tell me what hurts (where what hurts is not "whole Plasma" but "this specific 
few lines of code") and then let me do the diagnosis on whether we can fix 
it.
