Good one.

I can add that one, it is not difficult.  Notice that in future I expect
to do the syncs in smaller chucks (but that is pie on the sky)

Print average bandwidth is easy.  The "hardware one" is difficult to get
from inside one application.

This one is not easy to do from inside qemu.  Much easier to get from
the outside.  As far as I know, it is not easy to monitor cpu usage from
inside the cpu that we can to measure.

Thanks for the comments, Juan.
