Looking through old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue
with the latest version of QEMU? Or could we close this ticket nowadays?

Title:
  vmdk files cause qemu-img to consume lots of time and memory

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The two attached files cause 'qemu-img info' to consume lots of time
  and memory.  Around 10-12 seconds of CPU time, and around 3-4 GB of
  heap.
