Since Qemu-0.13 version they have changed default disk cache settings so
creating checkpoint and loading checkpoint with default parameters take too
long. You have to use 'cache=unsafe' option to create checkpoints faster. I
have just pushed few fixes to 'qemu-0.14' and 'core-models' that will make
sure that checkpoint is created correctly when using 'cache=unsafe' option.

new command : $ qemu/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
file=/your/qcow2/image,cache=unsafe

Also when you load the checkpoint use the same 'cache' option.
