It seems to me --no-share and --fast-deep-copy has some relations, they all try
to achieve the same purpose, right? But the wording quit differs, which might
cause troulbe for uesrs to understand.

If sheep is busy, e.g, busy with VMs or in recovery state, will this option
worsen the situation? That is, make the slow VM slower and in return, this
command will be excueted slower and slower.
