Just to note - recently I did a test to compile libguestfs in a
`systemd-nspawn` container. Details here[1]

A single `make` job timing to compile everything on a systemd-nspawn:

    real    31m9.792s
    user    17m18.359s
    sys     13m17.868s

For comparison, on the _host_, the same single `make` job timing:

    real    13m41.440s
    user    13m5.816s
    sys     1m9.911s


Notes:

  - The above was with systemd-208-9.fc20.x86_64. Current systemd in
    Rawhide (systemd-210-2.fc21) has a lot more improvements

  - Host and guest are both running Btrfs on Fedora-20

  - I'm yet to test with libvirt-lxc tooling
