Very slow OVF import/export — at Initial Version

Description

OVF import/export is very slow, and it looks like it can be improved: During import, I noticed VirtualBox was reading at 4MB/s. This is on an internal hard disk, with the source and target on two different disks.

I used Process Monitor from Sysinternals, and noticed that VirtualBox is reading blocks of 64KB, 26 bytes and 16 bytes, repetitively (see attached screenshot). I think the reading speed would largely benefit from cached IOs, with a bigger buffer.
