QtWebEngine loads very slowly
by Geremia from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H4Q5)
I'm experience incredibly slow loading times for QtWebEngine, which causes Calibre's ebook-viewer several seconds just to load a simple, small EPUB. From MobileRead forum:
Code:$ QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu --enable-logging=stderr --v=0" calibre-debug -w *.epub
