It will increase the network bandwidth usage. The compression can
reduce the image size to 5%.

Probably it will have some affect - only a limited set of resolutions
would be supported, mouse events should be ok, you have to try it :).
I don't think it will become slow. Also instead of uninstalling the qxl
driver, you can change the graphic type from qxl to vga.

There is a lot of "FIXME"s in spice-html5, some features are missing.
It should be possible to implemented them similar way as it is in
spice-gtk. Patches are welcome :)

There are some patches that may help, see and try the "topdown" branch:
