Ask HN: QTConcurrent or Apple's Grand Central Dispatch (GCD)?

We are developing a C++ server application for crunching huge video data. Should we go with QtConcurrrent or look for linux port of Grand Central Dispatch? How do their performances compare?

Well, the first port I find of GCD for linux, libdispatch, hasn't been updated since October, but it looks plausible for use. ANSI C doesn't employ the same kind of code block mentality that Objective-C offers, so the interface is probably a little different.
