What kind of results? -
The bandwith that spice take?
The speed of rendering ? (interactive feeling)
The cpu it cunsom?

Well this for sure not right for any machine that i have saw.
Do you sure you are using the QXL driver? when you go to:

"The Display: " say Red Hat QXL GPU ?

(There is a issue with windows that you got to change resoultion after 
you install the
driver in order to benefit from it)

Thanks
