Bug Description
There is currently no support for compression when extracting qcow2 snapshots. In most cases, hypervisors are constrained by memory allocation rather than CPU, making the processing overhead to compress a snapshot worthwhile.
We should support this via a configuration option, to allow administrators to decide if they're willing to make the trade off.
