Repeater model very slow when copying an item

If you're experiencing slow performance when copying an item within a QML Repeater, there are a few strategies you can use to optimize the performance:


1. **Minimize Complex Operations**: Ensure that any complex operations or calculations are minimized within the Repeater delegate. These can slow down item creation and duplication. Only include essential logic in the delegate.


2. **Use Component Caching**: You can enable component caching for the items in the Repeater to improve performance. By setting `cacheBuffer` and `cache` properties, you can reuse item components when possible. However, be cautious about using this if your items contain dynamic data that can change frequently.


   ```qml

   Repeater {

       model: myModel

       delegate: Item {

           cacheBuffer: 10

           cache: true

           // Your item content here

       }

   }

   ```


3. **Use a ListView**: Depending on your use case, consider using a ListView instead of a Repeater. A ListView is optimized for handling large numbers of items and can offer better performance.


4. **Optimize Item Size**: If your items are heavy, consider optimizing their size and complexity. Large items with many child elements can significantly slow down the rendering process.


5. **Async Loading**: If you have heavy operations during item creation, consider loading the content asynchronously or offloading heavy tasks to a worker thread if possible.


6. **Use a Loader Component**: If your items have complex content that is not always visible, you can use a Loader component to load the content on demand. This can improve initial loading times.


7. **Reduce Item Creation**: Limit the number of items you're creating in the Repeater. If you have a large number of items, you may want to consider implementing pagination or lazy loading to display only a subset of items at a time.


8. **Profiling and Benchmarking**: Use profiling and benchmarking tools to identify performance bottlenecks in your QML application. Tools like Qt Creator's built-in profiler can help you pinpoint performance issues.


9. **Optimize Data Source**: Make sure that the data model you're using with the Repeater is efficiently structured. If your data retrieval or manipulation is slow, it can impact the overall performance.


10. **Hardware Acceleration**: Ensure that your application and the graphics system are utilizing hardware acceleration if available. Check for any issues with GPU drivers or other hardware-related issues.


Optimizing QML performance can be complex and depends on the specifics of your application. Experiment with these strategies, and use profiling tools to identify the most significant performance bottlenecks in your particular use case.
