Can you clarify the exact setup you have ?  As mentioned on IRC, I don't
see any degradation in performance betweeen builtin websockets vs a
websockets proxy - if anything the builtin websockets is marginally less
laggy.  I was connecting over TCP localhost, however, so would not see
any effects of network latency. My test was QEMU git master, with noVNC
git master.
