Does that include performance reliability?

It wasn't very long ago that I had BTRFS drives on two separate systems develop crippling performance issues, with random delays increasing up to seconds, and the filesystem going unresponsive for even longer when I deleted snapshots. I think something about the performance was degrading every time an hourly snapshot was made, even though the system only kept a couple dozen of them at a time.
