You might want to add -c to the ssh cmd to compress the data if the connection between the servers is< 100 MBit/s.
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.
Interesting, I'd have guessed that encryption will dominate the cpu cost, and that compression would be a win since there's less to encrypt and transmit.
