When writing the original virt-p2v we found the -C option actually
makes things a lot slower, assuming the common case where you have a
gigabit network between the servers.  It's quicker just to copy
without the overhead of compression.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
