This may be the case, but I was more referring to the fact that I can
turn off image compression in the VM's XML configuration under the
graphics section.  In fact, gnome-boxes does this by default because
the assumption is that you are running the VM locally:

Although I do think for the keypress delay use case that it makes
sense to put the configuration on the client side so that it can be
adjusted based on where you are connecting to the server.
