Might be worth to compare the C++ version (that you should publish here¹)
and the Python versions with perf. Of course, they differ...
Attached.
python versions, perf running for about 10 sec.
QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=raster perf record -f python graphicsviewtest.py

The former looks nice, it's a great example, why PyQt rocks. The hottest
areas are there, where they should be: down under, moving bits. Great.
But the latter looks strange indeed.
Phil, do you have any idea, why PyEval_EvalFrameEx is the top sucker in
this scenario? This looks, like in opengl mode, it is evaluating some
python expression in its hottest path (data type conversions or the like?).
My raster perf report doesn't look nice at all:
14.30% python2 libpython2.7.so.1.0 [.] PyEval_EvalFrameEx

Same thing but even worse with opengl:

In both cases, PyEval_EvalFrameEx is at or near the top, and so are other
Python things.
For the sake of completeness, here's the perf output for the C++ version (which
runs perfectly):

I tested this program on openSUSE (in a VirtualBox), and in contrast to
Vincent, it doesn't work for me there either (same behavior as in my native
Arch Linux). BTW, I use KDE and not Gnome, but I doubt that this is relevant.
Furthermore, I still have the same bad behavior on my Mac.
