I agree Lzma and zlib are pretty much equivalent, so there is pretty much nothing to be gained except slightly more compression. On the other hand with lzo (1) there would be quite a considerable speed improvement at the cost of compression. It could also mean that reading on the qcow forma

Thanks for the info. #ifdef WIN32 void usleep(unsigned long usec) { Sleep(usec/1000); } #endif The division "usec/1000" is an expensive operation on any processor. Maybe it would be better just to use "_sleep(1)" which is analogous to usleep(1000) ? This is what i did to have it comp
