Detecting a netsplit is somewhat easy... what is difficult is:
when a netsplit occurs the server sends one quit message per user. We would have to buffer those messages until the last one is sent, so we can remove the users as a bulk. The question is: which one is the last quit message?

I concur. You could probably look at the way netsplit detection is implemented in irssi.

Question is we need to bulk-remove the users, or if just not showing the messages is already enough to fix the performance issue. To detect the end of it, one could probably just use a timeout (a second or so should be enough, since I assume that the QUIT msgs are sent en-block by the server) and then send a summary message to inform the GUI.

Coreside work is done. For the clientside representation, I'll wait for the new fancy styling stuff to be merged into master. So you'll get pretty raw messages - but only one join/quit for each netsplit.
Work is done in my netsplit branch available at:
http://git.roath.org/?p=quassel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/netsplit
Note that the branch will be rebased after Sput's styling magic hit master.

As of fd80315c076ede937f5d51ba6f8061a32d0107ec we have netsplit handling - even though it will see a major rewrite in the future...
