If QPixmap is not entirely stupid, the pixmap is stored on the server,  
yesno?
Thus you get no overhead.

QGradient however (still?, i think so) internally swaps to the raster  
engine (because some drivers still *STILL* cannot XRenderCreate*Gradient)  
ie. paints into an image and XPutImage's that to the server :-(

Cheers,
