    Description

      The performance of `timerEvent` has noticeably degraded in Qt versions 6.7.1 and 6.8.0-beta1 compared to Qt 6.6.1.

      This issue becomes evident when building and running the attached timertest.zip .

       

      The difference in behavior appears to be introduced by the following commit:

      https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/367377

       

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Build and execute timertest.zip using Qt 6.6.1.
      2. Build and execute timertest.zip using Qt 6.7.1 or Qt 6.8.0-beta1.
      3. Observe the responsiveness degradation in the latter versions.

       

      The patch 0002_qtbase_add_log.patchhighlights the accumulation of Timer events in the event queue.

      e.g.
