That's not normal. That suggests some issue in the virtualization config, or maybe your proc doesn't support virtualization or something.
Aside from graphically heavy things, a VM should only incur a minor overhead compared to the host. Word processing should function just fine.
Edit: ok, so I just tried setting up a windows vm again, and it's much faster now, animations are still a bit laggy, but changing some windows and libvirt settings improved performance by a lot. ig it was skill issue? even virtio didn't have the resolution issue I had before, somehow
The libre office issue is literally a known bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152911 and https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-performance-issues-on-linux/114920 etc.
With the VM, I've tried on my laptop (framework 16), my 8600k desktop with rx 580, and gtx 1080
12700k with gtx 1080 and 6700 xt
9800x3d with rx 9070 xt.
Lots of others have the same issues, so please don't gaslight me.

virtio NEVER lets me pick my native resolution either. This has been an issue on all my devices, and has persisted throughout all my PC upgrades.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't help that the documentation is so non-existent for what to pick and the specifics for each xml options.
Btw I got the rdp tip from here, and rdp actually allows my native 4k resolution https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/1fcs0kj/virtmanager_better_fps/
