Yes, I'm seeing the same thing. There's no good reason for that to be
happening, though. Also, when using performance monitor, I'm seeing
that the qt frequency sink actually takes a smaller percent of the
overall runtime than the the qt sink. So whatever is happening is
occurring outside of the block itself (in the QT and X systems), so
performance monitor doesn't pick it up.
Yes, this seems like a bug and should definitely be looked into.
