title: QEMU: Slow video performance with Windows 7 guest
body: <p>I'm running a Windows 7 guest virtualised under QEMU/virt-manager on a Fedora 17 host and video performance seems poor. Mouse movement is laggy and unresponsive.</p>
  
  <p>The guest is using a qxl video adapter and a Spice display. The guest Windows 7 has the latest spice tools installed. Changing spice to VLC in virt-manager doesn't improve things, neither does switching to a different display adapter (vga/cirrus). I've tried upping video memory, also didn't help.</p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing this is video related as connecting to the Windows box directly via RDP is much more responsive.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
