Or KVM/QEMU's? This may impact the performance. This is a bug in libvirtd itself, in that the threading wasn't properly unlocking all of the time. So the save command would take a lock for the duration of the command, and all other commands would queue up behind it. Recent work in libvirt should have mostly eliminated this phenomenon; you'll want to try out libvirt 0.8.1 or later. -- Chris Lalancette
