      @Christian-Ehrlicher thx for testing it for me
      , then it might be a bug related to windows only?

        I also don't have problems with your example with Qt5.15.0 / MinGW64 on Windows 7. Please make sure that you have a clean build dir, maybe even create a new clean project to test it.

                        Are you running out of RAM? I'm guessing that the slowdown happens when your PC is busy transferring data between your physical RAM and your Pagefile. That is a very slow process.

                        Run Resource Monitor (https://www.thewindowsclub.com/use-resource-monitor-windows-10 ) and see what is using up all your memory and your disk I/O.

                          @JKSH Thank you for your reply, but my desktop has 64GB memory, I don't think it cause the problem.
                          The question is with 5.9.9, it works fine, with only 10MB memory consumption.

                            It's possible that the implementation of QTableView changed between Qt 5.9 and Qt 5.15 which provides better performance in some use-cases but worse performance in other use-cases.

                            Do you have Qt 5.12 LTS installed? How does it perform with that version?

                            You can post your minimal test code and provide instructions on how to cause the slowdown to https://bugreports.qt.io/. However, it is still not clear to me whether it is a bug/regression or not.

                                @JKSH The weird thing is that I did get good performance after I reboot my desktop, but it did not always working..actually, it only works once.

                                  I'm pretty sure your Qt example has nothing to do with this.

                                    @KaoN have you done a full hard shutdown or only the soft one that comes when opening the start menu ?

                                    hit win + r
                                    
                                    then type:
                                    shutdown /s /f /t 0

                                    Q: What's that?
                                    A: It's blue light.
                                    Q: What does it do?
                                    A: It turns blue.

                                        @KaoN Microsoft made this change a while ago when the UWP, Windows for mobile/tablet was a thing and windows required faster reboots/boots/wakeups

                                        As a result all modern Windows system have a "soft reboot /shutdown" these days

                                        Usually you don't notice this, until some day, fundamental stuff starts behaving strangely.

                                        I for once managed it (with Qt no less) to get my bluetooth driver in an undefined state, so nothing, bluetooth worked anymore, and a reboot did not fix it, because the normal reboot does not reinitialize and clear everything. That's how I learned about it.

                                        Your case, smells like a bug hard to tell if Qt is at fault or not.
                                        Have you tried updating your windows ? My Bluetooth story fixed itself with a windows update.

                                        And have you tried it on a 2nd, different windows pc ?

                                        If yes, and behavior is the same (in both cases) than it may be a Qt issue

                                          @J-Hilk Thanks for the information. Generally I find one case that if the application run through windows remote desktop, it will slow, even it was good before, and it will not recovery until hard reboot.
                                          But another my laptop perform badly what ever I reboot or hard shutdown.
                                          Only 5.9 works perfectly on every situation.
