Spice performance

Ran the Tao3D 3DIVART collection of artistic shaders converted for auto-stereoscopic output. The good news is that despite being quite complex, with textures, etc, it works quite well over H264. That being said, I am a bit disappointed at the performance of the M2000 relative to my trusty old GTX 760.

Spice memory leak

Tried to correlate the problem on macOS with the number of bad frames (i.e. frames for which

spice_mmtime_diff(now, gstframe->frame->mm_time) < 0
is false). No obvious correlation. There are cases where the frame delay increases without a sharp increase in the number of bad frames:

Flight recorder

Fixed the majority of cases where the recorder scope would crash when

the spice-gtk client was restarted, which was just annoying.

Dry run of Paolo's presentation
