That said, look at the numbers: it increased from ~100 µs to 16.9 ms in the worst case. You can't perceive that difference.
This limits the number of processes you can spawn per second to about 60 (and it goes lower if you eat more RAM). I certainly can notice this when using the version of qbs compiled into QtCreator to compile a project. In order to keep an 8-core CPU loaded and send extra jobs to icecream you need a higher rate.
There is a workaround for that by now, which just uses a separate process to spawn the children, but it used to be a problem.
