Guest not have an unusual number of files. At least looking at the number of inodes used: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/vda3 2894304 164989 2729315 6% /
So... 165,000 files? My F23 system which imported in 2 minutes has 174,442 inodes used, albeit significantly more free:

Another difference is ext4 (F21) vs xfs (F23).
I'll try to reproduce the issue here, but you can also do the following command directly on the guest disk image if you want to test something: time LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct guestfish --ro -a fc21-64.qcow2 -i selinux-relabel /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts / force:true As long as you make sure you use the '--ro' flag, this will not make any changes to the disk image. For me that command only takes ~15 seconds to run on a Fedora 21 disk image with minimal (@Core) packages installed. I'm using a RHEL 7.3 host.
