Having fought my way through getting used to KVM, I have installed a development desktop along side some servers, and the performance is unusable.
The Ubuntu GUI seems very slow and not very responsive. It was not as bad as VGA but it is still unusable, all I need is to work in a development gui and do the things developers do, but if I can't even get text entered in at normal speed, and have menu's responsive enough to use, it's not much good to me.

I don't know if this is normal, if it is is there a better guest I could choose for this?

apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-qxl is already at the latest one
