If someone posts a simple howto with how to setup VMGL in a guest and 
host, I'll take a look at it this weekend and see if I can't increase 
the FPS by tweaking the virtio network driver.

virtio should get very good throughput but the latencies aren't very 
optimized yet so if VMGL is latency sensitive, this may be what you're 
seeing.  I don't know what is normal to expect from VMGL though.
