Hello.

May be because of current implementation of rotten bits detection - one hash 
for whole file. Imagine 40 GB VM image - few parts of the image are modified 
continuously (VM log files and application data are constantly changing). Those 
writes making checksum invalid and BitD has to recalculate it endlessly. As the 
result - checksum of VM image can never be verified.
