The libqt-mt library is only one lib of a qt program.
Yes. My bad, see my answer to Felipe. :/

Please compare whole programs.
Since I don't have the needed Qt libs, that will be hard. Please disregard
my timings.

Since you gave no proof for this statement, I will answer with another
unproven:
The bigger a library the more code, the more symbols must be resolved.
It's not my statement. It's someone else's. see e.g.
http://lwn.net/Articles/192624/
and
http://keycorner.org/pub/text/doc/kde-slow.txt
I assume they knew what they were talking about.
