Increase console refresh rate for guest operating systems using Intel GVT-g, corresponding to ~60fps. This increases the refresh rate of access to the display of the GUI, creating a much smoother user experience. I've looked into why it is 30 by default and it appears to have been added in commit 313aa567104a63fbe84d6ec2eeff5b5c81cb3524 2 decades ago when VGA emulation was first added. This commit does not appear to break VGA emulation in my testing. If there's enough interest (IE for 75 fps displays), this constant could be replaced by a function that gets a command-line flag that could be set with a QEMU arg, but I'm currently not familiar enough with QEMU's codebase know how to get the arguments for a VM to add such a charge.
