I changed your examples to loop 1000 times instead of 100, and I redirected 
the output to /dev/null so that the time to write to the terminal is the same 
in the two cases.

I get these results:

console: ~ 7.6 s
QT:      ~ 9.3 s

So it is very strange! 

Because if you use SHELL ... TO, then the event loop is not called, i.e. no 
specific QT code is execute. Theoretically, the same code is run in the two 
cases!

More investigation is needed there...
