I currently use centos 7 and Fedora 21 guests with gnome3 desktop. The application I am having issues with is any application that requires redraw on screen (firefox, chrome, youtube, hulu..etc) I wanted to be able to test apps like arcgis desktop. Right now I was just expecting quality video streams without the redraw (choppy) issue. Network configuration is all 10Gbe (internal infrastructure ), but 1gbe for streaming to our laptops <div class="gmail_quote">On May 11, 2015 7:27 AM, "Frediano Ziglio" <<a href="mailto:fziglio@redhat.com">fziglio@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000">Hi, I think you should not recompile. I assume you installed successfully QXL drivers in any guest. However some more details are needed. - which type of guests are you using? - with which application type you have poor performances? - do you measure performance or just expect more responsiveness? - does screen refresh slowly? - what's the network configuration? - what's latency? (like ping response) - what's the bandwidth?

I am currently using the downloaded version of the Windows and CentOS client (the latest version on spice website)...should I compile the spice client? My problem comes in when I simulate user experience with youtube, or any application that redraws. Performance for Desktop applications (libre, vim, surfing the web..except website with lots of advertising). I looked at the FAQ about poor performance and didn't know how to check for the options: <a href="http://www.spice-space.org/page/FAQ" target="_blank">http://www.spice-space.org/page/FAQ</a> Any help would be appreciated. Also, I am using ovirt 3.5. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel</a> </blockquote> </div></div></blockquote></div>
