+ qemu: xz save image compression is faster
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ When using the xz format to compressed virtual
+ machine saved state images, the "-3" compression
+ level preset is now used. This results in slightly
+ larger files, but with a massively reduced time
+ to compress. The xz format offers the best compression
+ level for saved state images, albeit still with the
+ slowest running time. For the fastest possible
+ running time, at cost of the larest compressed size,
+ lzop should be used.
