You need to profile your application to see what is the bottleneck.
I think you could do it even on x86 (e.g. using Valgrind/callgrind
+ Kcachegrind).
If you have deep widget hierarchy, you could try reducing levels in it
(deep widget hierarchies can greatly increase the number of signals
needed to propagate changes).
