@Vinzenz If there is no logged in user this should be as quick as without the tool and I guess there isn't a user logged in @Guy?

Well, the definition of ‘Someone is logged in’ is quite difficult to answer on linux machine.

Correct but if the system is doing nothing why would adding guest agent is adding > 1 min to the shutdown?

The agent adds that, what it gets told to, it’s not hardcoded if that is your point. “If the system is doing nothing” is again very subjective and not easy to answer.
Anyway you’re welcome to change that delay if you insist. It’s sent by the engine via the VM.shutdown verb on vdsm as the delay parameter in seconds.

Just I don’t support this change and I do see too many potential pitfalls in trying to determine if we should skip the delay or not - As I said, it’s a matter which is too subjective.

I agree it's subjective, but the resulting user experience isn't pleasant either - it is perceived as if oVirt is making the VM slow, for no good reason. I do think we could do a better job. For example, not to slow down server OS VMs (we do not expect users logged in, and to save their work, etc.), or only do it in Windows and when X is running, etc.
