Well, the whole bdrv_pwrite_sync thing is new - with your benchmarking
you probably caught qcow2 at its worst performance in years. Initially I
just blindly converted everything to be on the safe side, and now we
need to optimize to get the performance back. There are probably some
more syncs that can be removed in less common paths.
