+Qemu (or rather each qemu-system-*) is an emulator at its core, so
+slowness is not a huge surprise. You probably wanted to run it in (fast)
+virtualization mode - use qemu-kvm for that (and the kvm module for your
+cpu must be loaded to get virtualization working). But running qemu
+directly is tiresome, try virt-manager - it works about as well as
+virtualbox even if I need to run it as root. I use virt-manager/qemu-kvm
+to build+test mga2 updates for iceape, only graphics (spice+vmvga) is slow
+(but better than vnc+cirrus).
+
+Unfortunately people keep updating libvirt, apparently without testing it
+- now it is broken again in cauldron. I need to kill all the qemu-system-*
+and qemu-kvm that libvirtd starts one by one before virt-manager can
+connect.

+A month ago I updated the spice packages; I also tried to update
+x11-driver-video-qxl (which is part of spice AFAIK) but it did not work at
+all. So if you ask for *that* package to be removed, fine with me.
