QTableView performances

[miraks]

Hi,

I am using a QTableView to display a table containing 3949 lines and 12 columns.

It's very long (>1 min).

I am using my own model named SKGObjectModel (derived from SKGObjectModelBase (derived from QAbstractItemModel)).

Here is a part of my analysis:

As you can see, data rowCount and index are very performant (average ~ 0) but I have bad performances because of these methods are called to many times (~ 2 600 000 times).

Do you know why ?
What can I do to avoid this ?

In advance, thank you for your help.

PS: the code is there: http://skrooge.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/skrooge/

Don't call reset - you'll reduce the number of calls 11 times Also, what does ::data() implementation look like?

Hi and thank you for your answer,

In fact reset is called only 3 times for this table:
1-when the table is initialized and empty
2-when the table is refreshed to display only 20 lines
3-when the table is refreshed to display all lines (this is the case with bad performances.

All other calls are for other tables containing around 10 lines.

So, I can't reduce the number of call to reset.

Here is the code:

QVariant SKGObjectModelBase::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const

        if (!index.isValid()) return QVariant();

                QString att=listAttibutes[index.column()];
                QString val=obj->getAttribute(att);
 
                if (att.startsWith("f_")) {
                        double dval=SKGServices::stringToDouble(val);

In fact reset is called only 3 times for this table:

So reduce it to 0. There is a 99% chance you don't need it.

So, I can't reduce the number of call to reset.

Sure you can. You can remove all rows and insert new ones, if you have to. It'll be much faster than calling reset. And you don't have to reset an empty model.

Your data() implementations are very complicated, try simplifying them. Here are some hints:
- don't compare strings, compare enums, single characters, ints or hashes from strings
- cache, cache, cache
* don't recompute data, cache it - there is a chance it'll be needed soon
* if you compute data for the item, compute not only the display role, but all roles - the view will query for more than one role for each index, why repeat calculations?

Hi,

I replaced all calls to reset by something based on beginRemoveRows + endRemoveRows + beginInsertRows + endInsertRows.

But I still have the same performances (bad performances ) and the same number of calls on data method:

Did you reimplement data() the way I suggested?

[calmspeaker]

Do not use reset() as you could,because reset() will clear the state of the items in the table, for example, the selected state. And the beginInsertRows(), endInsertRows() will reduce the efficiency. You could emit the signals layoutAboutToBeChanged()before you insert warnings,layoutChanged() after you insert warnings.

The tableview could be very efficent, I have tried to display 100,000 items, and there is no obvious delay.

er, I have a question, what tool do u use to test your codes' efficency?

[miraks]

Not yet.

You could emit the signals layoutAboutToBeChanged()before you insert warnings,layoutChanged() after you insert warnings.

In any case, in my scenario, I have to fill the table with around 3400 new lines.
At the beginning the table contains 20 lines.
After a user action, the table must contain around 3400 new lines.
I will try with layoutAboutToBeChanged() and layoutChanged().

The tableview could be very efficient, I have tried to display 100,000 items, and there is no obvious delay.

Did you tried with decorations, colors, alignment ?
I noticed bad performances just by adding background color.

what tool do u use to test your codes' efficency?

My own component.
In fact, my traces system is able (with some build directives activated) to compute the time consumed by a part of code (a method for example).
This system is less time consuming that something like Callgrind.

I suggest you only call the pair signal(beginlayoutchanged, layoutchanged) once, in your situation, that is a way to improve the efficiency.

I only tried to changed all the items' background color every per second.The efficiency is acceptable.

Could it be shared?

[wysota]

Have you tried gprof? It's faster than callgrind because it doesn't emulate the cpu and it's standard, so there are tools to use it. You can use it with GCC only, but I take it that's not a problem for you

[miraks]

Hi calmspeaker,

I prepared for you a package containing:
1-A class managing errors with history.
2-A class managing indented traces with error and profiling.
3-A document to explain how to use it.

I hope it will help you.
If you need help, contact me.

I will test your proposal.

Here is the result of my test with layoutAboutToBeChanged + layoutChanged.

Conclusion:
It's better because the number of call reduced.
It's not enough.

[wysota]

I really suggest to modify the implementation of data(). It is currently very inefficient and it's one of the most often called methods.

I will try but it's not so easy !
I will take you informed.

In any case, thank you for your help.

Hi wysota,

I have got 2 bad news:

1-I optimized data method and after that, I commented in data methods all the code concerning decoration, tooltip, alignment, etc to keep only the text. Even with this, I win only 6% of performances. .
Conclusion: even with perfect code in data, I won't have good performances.

2-The solution based on layoutAboutToBeChanged + layoutChanged generates some regressions.
(indexes seems to be not recomputed and so are still pointing on deleted internal data).

I don't know what to do.

PS1: I attached my new implementation.
PS2: I don't know if it's very important, but I use a proxy (filter & sort) too.

The implementation is still very inefficient. You are still comparing strings instead of enums or numbers and you don't do any serious caching of calculated data.

6% performance gain is already much, don't underestimate it.

Hi wysota,

Today, I have got a good new.
I understood why I have so bad performances.
In fact, it's due to these lines:

ui.kOperationView->verticalHeader()->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);
ui.kOperationView->horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);

ui.kOperationView->verticalHeader()->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);
ui.kOperationView->horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);

As you can see, the number of calls is drastically reduced and performances are better (before 43s into data method, now 2s into data method ==> it's better than 6% ).

Is it normal to have so bad performances when ResizeToContents is used ?

[wysota]

Yes, that's normal. sizeHint is queried all the time which in turns calls data() all the time, etc. I thought you knew that so I didn't even bother to mention it, sorry

But honestly it's because of your hand-crafted profiler - it doesn't monitor methods which are called automatically by Qt or that are implemented by Qt, hence no references to sizeHint reading and hence my impression you weren't resizing columns to contents.
