VDDK - VixDiskLib_Clone - async reads

Hi.

I developed a backup tool based on VDDK which works great so far.I choose VixDiskLib_Clone call for backup as it gives the flexibility to have a standard vmdk file as backup result.

VDDK 6.7 introduced async read calls which noticeably increase backup speed via NBD transport mode, so the question is does the implementation of VixDiskLib_Clone internally make use of async read calls or is there any way to enable that?

This would be great as most of our customers could only make use of NBD and we try to get the most out of it performance wise.

If not are there any plans to implement this in future versions of the VDDK?

Thanks for any suggestions.
