    Description

      Exporting a VM with compression leads to ultra slow network speed and thus export time.

      See the same export with and without compression (Gzip vs none) in the attached graph. GZIP will slow the entire host and make exports during longer.

      Compressing is great, but GZIP is known for being too CPU intensive. LZ4 performs much better. Shouldn't very difficult to implement in the XAPI
