Just now converted guest's disk image to RAW, using default cache
settings. Seeing much better results - same "dd" test now shows 145 MB/s
write speeds:

541590+0 records out
35493642240 bytes (35 GB) copied, 245.511 s, 145 MB/s

(dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=550k conv=fdatasync)

And I also tried same test over 1 gbit network, it shows acceptable
results there as well:

dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=150k conv=fdatasync
153600+0 records in
153600+0 records out
10066329600 bytes (10 GB) copied, 94.1721 s, 107 MB/s

So something is not good with QCOW2 disk format.
