Is setting the brusch of a QGraphicsRectItem a GUI operation?
And, if yes:

What is the preferred way to provide huge GUI updates without getting
the user interface unresponsible? If I would put all the 100.000
QGraphicsRectItem color changes into the main thread, it would take many
seconds to process them, and in this time no other user activity
(updates on mouse move) can be made, what is inacceptable for the user.
