I like Qt Creator as an IDE, but the built-in compiler is slower than dirt.
Can I replace it, and if so, with what?
Developing on Windows but targeting multiple Mac as well.

By default on Windows the compiler is mingw, a port of GCC. Qt also contains support for the Visual Studio compilers, which you can switch to.
The only full-fledged C++ compiler on Macintosh is GCC.
C++, especially with template heavy code, is slow to compile. There is no avoiding this. In my experience, Visual Studio is not appreciably faster on complex code bases over GCC.
