I know, but I do not think it make sense to draw IMCompose event
everytime, because of the speed of fast typing. Maybe the IMCompose
event should be posted rather than sent?

I think the most time-consuming part is the drawing of preedit string
and the candidates table (all in skim). On the other hand, if only one
IMCompose even is processed in each event loop, I think it should make
some differences.

I think IM event compress should be useful: IMO as for IMCompose
event, only the last one should take effect no matter how many has
generated previously in each event loop. ( I call this is a kind of
compression).

Could you please tell me where "double buffering" is used in Qt? I'd
like to have a look.

BTW: I will soon release the qt-immodule support for scim.
