Hi Victor

The SPICE server is
rpm -q spice-server
spice-server-0.14.0-6.el7_6.1.x86_64

On the VM we're using SPICE QXL.

Looks like
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/qxl-wddm-dod/qxl-wddm-dod-0.19/spice-qxl-wddm-dod-0.19.zip
has the performance fixes you mentioned.

Any ideas if/when this will be shipped with/on the RHV Tools ISO?

Thanks
