Hi,
I have someVMs in my KVM hosts(RHEL 5.5), I found when run "virsh save

<domain>" will
hang until the save command finishes.
Is this libvirt's behavior? Or KVM/QEMU's? This may impact the performance.
This is a bug in libvirtd itself, in that the threading wasn't properly
unlocking all of the time. So the save command would take a lock for the
duration of the command, and all other commands would queue up behind it.
Recent work in libvirt should have mostly eliminated this phenomenon; you'll
want to try out libvirt 0.8.1 or later.
