Either way, changing to cache=none I suspect wouldn't tell me much,
because if it's as slow as before, it's still unusable and if instead
it's even slower, well it'd be even more unusable, so I wouldn't be
able to tell the difference. What I can say for certain is that with
the exact same virtual hd file, same options, same system, but on an
ext3 fs there's no problem at all, on a Btrfs is not just slower, it
takes ages.
