9.7 seconds - 9% speedup.

We cannot compare the total time since creating a disk can be take 4-16
seconds.

What kind of storage is this? Is this the local storage hack used as NFS?
You may get much better performance with local disk, hiding the delays in
writing to shared storage. But most oVirt users use NFS or GlsuterFS.

I tested on NFS, tuned to simulate a fast NFS server.

Testing such changes should be done on a real server with real storage.
I'll try to get a server in our scale lab to do more real testing.
