The performance impact should be barely noticable. Qt iterates over the QFileEngineHandlers anyway, and one more check for the first character of a string being '%' won't do much to it.

Ther iteration itself, and the sum of all handlers, probably does have an impact on performance, as you've already pointed out. However it would be a shame if that feature went away I think. And I find it hard to imagine how many QFiles you would need to create to actually notice the drop in performance. -- Arno Rehn a...@arnorehn.de >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
