* What is the version of spice server running on the host?
* Which device/drivers are you using?

The driver for Windows 8+, including Windows 10 should be the
qxl-wddm-dod [0][1] one. The changelog [2] for the latest
version, 0.19, includes the line "Improve performance vs spice
server 14.0 and earlier".
