Improved SPICE performance after upgrade to RHEL 6.4
After upgrading our hosts to rhevh-6.4-20130318.1.el6_4 and our guests to EL6.4, I have noticed some significant performance improvements in the SPICE protocol.
In particular, the performance has seemed to improved in two cases:
- Large display resolutions - For example, the monitor attached to my office PC is 1920x1200.
- Some commercial EDA applications - I'm not sure about which features of these applications benefited from optimization. The Help application is orders of magnitude faster.
