Hello Gianluca.
As I mentioned previously I am not sure it has anything to do with SPICE
at all, but with the amount of memory the VM has assigned to it. Proff
of it is that when you access with via any Remote Desktop protocol it
remains slow as if the amount of video memory wasnt being enough and
have seen it crashing several times as well.

correct on both
Hello Fernando and Michal,
at that time I was doing some tests both with plain virt-manager and
oVirt for some Windows 10 VMs.
More recently I haven't done anything in that regard again, unfortunately.
After you have done what you did suggest yourself and Michal
confirmed, then you can test powering off and then on again the VM (so
that the new qemu-kvm process starts with the new parameters) and let
us know if you enjoy better experience, so that we can ask for
adoption as a default (eg for VMs configured as desktops) or as a
custom property to give

there were no changes recently, these are the most recent
guidelines we got from SPICE people. They might be out of date.
Would be good to raise that specifically (the performance
difference for default sizes) to them, can you narrow it down and
post to spice-devel(a)lists.freedesktop.org
<mailto:spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org>?
This could be very useful too
Cheers,
Gianluca

<p>Resurrecting this topic. I made the changes
as per your instructions below on the Engine
configuration but it had no effect on the VM

the Engine after adding the
20-overload.properties file ? Also I don't
