What problem are you facing?
Currently, LZF is used to compress virtual machine snapshots. And with virtual machines that have been allocated a large amount of memory, the process of saving and restoring them becomes very time-consuming.
By switching to LZ4, which (according to estimates found online) is three times faster than LZF, I expect a similar speedup in system state restoration and backup.
How can we fix this?
Use LZ4 instead of LZF
What alternatives or workarounds exist?
Use ZSTD (for example, with a custom compression level, via VBoxManage)
Anything else we should know?
No response
