qemu: Avoid excessive calls to qemuDomainObjSaveJob()
As reported by Daniel Berrangé, we have a huge performance regression for virDomainGetInfo() due to the change which makes virDomainEndJob() save the XML status file every time it is called. Previous to that change, 2000 calls to virDomainGetInfo() took ~2.5 seconds. After that change, 2000 calls to virDomainGetInfo() take 2 *minutes* 45 secs. We made the change to be able to recover from libvirtd restart in the middle of a job. However, only destroy and async jobs are taken care of. Thus it makes more sense to only save domain state XML when these jobs are started/stopped.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
