Description Arik 2013-10-09 13:08:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
While taking snapshot with external memory state we can't use compression.
It should be possible to compress the memory state volume in a similar way we do it fot hibernation (virDomainSave) volume.

    qemu: snapshot: Add support for compressing external snapshot memory
    
    The regular save image code has the support to compress images using a
    specified algorithm. This was not implemented for external checkpoints
    although it shares most of the backend code.
