=app-emulation/qemu-8.2.0 is unusable when use with spice protocol.

Could you report it upstream please?

Sorry, no. Gitlab require from me too much personal information. I am not agree.

I'm not really sure we can do much about this. It's not a packaging bug and there's not really enough information for me to forward it myself either.

Yes, this is not gentoo bug, this is package-specific. Leave it here for informational purpose.

With best wishes - YD.

Please don't open such bugs for "informational purpose" when you are unwilling to report them upstream.

I have
  =app-emulation/qemu-8.2.0
  =app-emulation/spice-0.15.2
  =app-emulation/spice-protocol-0.14.4

and I do not observe a slowdown with spice in my windows and linux VMs. It's sluggish but not worse than with previous qemu versions.

Yuriy, would you mind to share an  $ emerge --info qemu  so that we can try to reproduce?

It is also good to know the video device model. There is a known regression in virtio-vga for example.

Hi folks. With latest glibc -2.38.r9 this issue is closed.
Thanks to all!)

Yes!!! I reconstruct this issue. I revert to old glibc.
Then test again. Current video driver I set to virtio. 

It reproduce

Then I change qemu to 8.2.0 and video driver to qxl.
This changes resolve all.

Summary:
Do not use "vga = virtio" in qemu-8.2.0

Thanks agan, folks!
