[Spice-devel] Windows 10 KVM guest very slow in SPICE console

[Carlos González]

Thanks very much, mr Ziglio, and for all your explanation as well.
Sorry if I went a bit annoying; I really thought the topic had been dumped
as "absolute no importance".

I don't know if the current performance issue I have could be any related
to VirtIO stuff. It's just, since this problem was there since the
beginning, after properly installing and configuring the guest, and
affecting even basic VM usage without going anything fancy, I used to think
this could have some importance.
I guess the spice-server patch will need more testing before release?

Finally, and just mere curiosity,
with 3D would you perhaps mean 3D graphic acceleration?
Are there by chance plans for supporting host-to-guest copy-pasting of
directories as well, instead of just files?

Thanks very much for your help.
