[Spice-devel] spice 0.6.3 slower than 0.4?

[Vermonden David]

Hi

The "RHEV Spice agent"-service now keeps running. Thanks a lot for your
help!

Sadly enough movies still very choppy. Below I have pasted the output
the qemu gives. Do I have to pay attention to the line
"handle_new_display_channel: jpeg disabled"?

The CPU load is about 110% (Quad core 2.83 GHz CPU whith 8 GB of RAM).
This is also much higher than when using spice 0.4. Is this an
indication of an error or does spice 0.8 require more resources? The
client CPU is about 80% (PentiumIV 1.80 Ghz).

The complete command is: (in one line)
-device virtio-serial
-chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent
-device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0

i.e. create a virtioserialport with a specific name
(com.redhat.spice.0), and connect
it to a chardevice of type spicevmc and with name vdagent (the property
is called name,
but it's actually the type of the spicevmc - so for instance there is
another type for smartcard
channel usage called smartcard).
