Unless you're using cache=writethrough (which is not the case with
-snapshot), qed has never been faster than qcow2 in a release. qed was
introduced in the same release as qcow2 introduced a writeback metadata
cache which improved performance with cache=none/writeback a lot (qemu
0.14). cache=writethrough gained the same optimisation as qed had with
qcow2's lazy_refcounts, which can optionally be enabled since qemu 1.2.

Title:
Use qed instead of qcow2 for "-snapshot" functionality
Status in QEMU:
Invalid
Bug description:
AFAIK, qed is better in performance than qcow2, so why we still use
qcow2 for internal snapshots ? patch is trivial.
