[ale] Would you like Spice with your KVM?

[JD]

The topic of Spice use instead of VNC came up during the virtualization talk
last Thursday.

I did get spice working this morning, but I must be doing something wrong since
the normal performance seems sluggish. Just switching windows can be painful.  I
must have something configured poorly.  Audio worked out of the box. Video was a
different story completely.

* KVM server is Ubuntu 12.04.x x64 (spice stuff from the repo)
* virt-manager used for the setup (from 12.04 repo)
* KVM ClientOS is Ubuntu x64 with LXDE loaded. (Doesn't know anything about spice.)
* Remote client is Win7 x64 running remote-desktop.exe/.com from spice-space.org

Does anyone have any tips or experiences they could share?
