I notice lag, depending on the console & gpu / display type of the VM, when using virtviewer. It is annoying. What can I do to fix it? I would like to use a local cursor. I've tried both tablet input settings, it seemed to help, but I still had notable lag.

I have seen this, and tried implementing it, but no luck. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

it's a windows 11 VM if that makes a difference!
 
I'm also using Windows 11 with Spice here.
It doesn't matter whether I use the tablet pointer or not. The mouse always works smoothly.
Regardless of the setting, the Windows 11 remote cursor only is always displayed for me.

Here are my VM configuration:
