    Slow VM clone on ZFS

    For some reason, cloning a VM (on the same storage) takes really long all of a sudden. It used to take ~30 seconds or so to clone a ~16GB VM. Now, it suddenly takes >10 minutes. AFAIK nothing about the host was changed. Also, the cloning itself is still really fast (at least according to the job...
