[PATCH spice-gtk 2/3] Drop frames if the backlog is above some limit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Christophe de Dinechin <dinechin@xxxxxxxxxx>

Experience has shown that if the machine running the guest is overloaded,
it may pile up a lot of backlog in the frames queue. This patch clears
the queue if it exceeds 100 entries. This value is arbitrary. It
corresponds to a few seconds on a highly overloaded machine.
