[Qemu-devel] text updates slow after commit 7d957bd8cbcbf56f7916d375e65042d767f544b5

[Chris Frey]

Hi,

I was using an older devel tree, and decided it was time to try out
the new stable 0.10.2.

Unfortunately, I'm finding that screen updates, when the guest is in
text mode (such as the grub boot screen), are extremely slow.  I can see
the text update as if it was a 28.8k modem. :-)

A git bisect showed that the slowness was introduced at git commit
7d957bd8cbcbf56f7916d375e65042d767f544b5

        DisplayState interface change (Stefano Stabellini)

Can anyone offer any tips on how to speed things up again?

Thanks,
- Chris
