Bug Description

Document VM Image Guide, October 20, 2014 Chapter 1 Introduction, Paragraph qcow2.

Problem: The phrase "Because qcow2 is sparse, it's often faster to convert a raw image to qcow2 and upload it then to upload the raw file." is not clear. I do not understand the meaning partly due to the repetition of upload.
Please: explain more clearly.

    Clarify note on QCOW2 uploads

    Reworded paragraph on converting images to QCOW2 before upload, since
    it might be faster to upload a smaller QCOW2 image instead of a RAW image.
