Reading lots of Data from QProcess without freezing

3.) Nice idea, but is this really faster? Matching the links in the SyntaxHighLighter or before adding sounds not like a big difference. But it sounds like a good idea to enable the link-feature and leave the log output untouched

In "my" version you are using plain text. In "your" version you are using rich text with injected html tags. There is a huge difference.

Ah ok. The SyntaxHighligher is a lot faster in formating the text then the rich-text engine. Thanks for the tip

[wysota]

The rich text engine has to parse the text each time it is being laid out (or at least each time the text changes). The syntax highlighter uses QTextDocument infrastructure.
