Yesterday I cloned one of my VMs and, somewhat implausibly, it took
virt-clone something like 8-9 hours to clone the 8Gb disk image...
Copying it from the command line took a mere 6.5 minutes.
I assume this is a bug, and it's not expected to take this long ;-)
This was using virt-clone from python-virtinst-0.500.2-1.fc12.noarch in
the virt-preview repository.
