Speaking of that, if the guest RAM were a memory-mapped file, couldn't that use shared storage too? You'd have to be careful: it would need a distributed filesystem with coherent mappings (i.e. not NFS), but they do exist. I'm guessing that the bulk of time spent in migration/checkpointing is saving the RAM image. Using a memory-mapped file on shared storage for RAM might make that faster.
