These APIs let you copy compressed files or devices out from the disk image. Compression is useful for large images which are mostly zeroes. We cannot currently do sparseness detection, and compression gives us a form of zero detection for free.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH v2] New APIs: gzip-out, xz-out, gzip-device-out, xz-device-out.
This updates the existing patch by removing 'compress'. It turns out this program isn't installed in the appliance, and in any case the compress format is long obsolete. Below are some timings. Note that even for plain gzip compression there is quite a large time penalty. Virtio-serial / the libguestfs protocol is quite efficient at copying large files around (75 megabytes/sec, only a fraction slower than 'dd' on the host). There is no multithread support in gzip or xz at the moment, so adding SMP support to the appliance probably won't make much difference, although it's worth adding it anyway. I might play with snappy and a simple RLE-based compressor next.
