You bring up a long-standing problem here. :-)
Without an
automated
performance test suite, all we can go in is the system "feel" and
"snappiness" when trying to use it.
I would still like to put together a test suite (ideally generic
enough
that we can also benchmark Qt4/Qt5 for comparison purposes), but
don't
have time at the moment with trying to get R14 out the door and
all.
Sounds like a great post-R14 project. Until then I'll have to
settle for a stopwatch and the time command. :-)

Darrell,
as further thing to consider, have 3.5.10 and R14 been compiled in the same configuration
(either release-release or debug-debug)? On some intensive programs I noticed a speed
difference ratio or 3-to-1 between the two.
But perhaps for TDE such difference wouldn't be to big since most of the time the
system is just waiting for user actions.
Just my two cents.
