One thing that strikes me about this algorithm is that it's very good for a particular type of workload--shockingly good really.

Poking bytes at random places in memory is fairly generic. If you have a lot of small objects, and modify a subset of them, this is the pattern you get.


I think workload aware migration compression is possible for a lot of different types of workloads. That makes me a bit wary of QEMU growing quite a lot of compression mechanisms.

It makes me think that this logic may really belong at a higher level where more information is known about the workload. For instance, I can imagine XBZRLE living in something like libvirt.

A better model would be plugin based.
