Are you copying to a btrfs seed image? In other words, if you made the container from a base image, and then have snapshotted that base image again as a copy target, the send/receive process should be very fast. On the other hand for an initial image, it would be better to do a btrfs snapshot assuming that the images are on the same volume. That should be basically instantaneous.
