Also, Stefan Hajnoczi from the QEMU project, points out:

    QEMU's implementations of all formats besides raw, qcow2, and qed
    are designed for import/export.  They are not designed for
    high-performance parallel I/O which you want for running guests. So
    it works but it can be much slower than using raw/qcow2 only.

    So it works but it can be much slower than using raw/qcow2 only.
