If you’re not scheduling frames, no updates will be made. If you are using Qt version 5.15.0 or later this should be pretty fast. Prior version had a slower update mechanism. One thing to keep in mind though is that changing materials will lead shaders needing to be recompiled, potentially textures to be updates, etc. Changing geometry means bounding volumes need updating, buffers need to be uploaded, etc. So the time might just be due to the GL state needing to be updated. You should take care to minimise such changes. Another thing to note, if you have 2 Qt3DWindows, then you have 2 underlying Qt3DEngine instances. These do not share resources so everything might be done twice. Of course it’s impossible to provide accurate feedback without profiling the actual code.
