       Animations run at 200% speed (at least) with corresponding increased CPU usage.

      This happens when using layer-backed QWindow/QNSView, which is reported to be the default on 10.14 Mojave, and which is also enabled for the Qt dev branch. To reproduce elsewhere set QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1.

      We're investigating the scope for this. It can bee seen in at least:

      • examples/quick/shadereffects
      • examples/quick/animation

      Possible solutions/workarounds:

      • Use the basic render loop, in combination with CVDisplayLink-driven updates.
      • Fix the threaded render loop
