BTRFS is NOT the successor to ZFS. It never was. It was completely new 
file system developed by Oracle Corp. For some reason, Oracle seems to 
have lost interest in it. Red Hat has deprecated and, in all likelihood, 
BTRFS will go the way of Solaris and SPARC chips: ride into the glorious 
history of the computer science. However, BTRFS has never been widely 
used, not even among Fedora users like me. BTRFS was suffering from 
problems with corruption and performance. This is probably not the place 
to discuss the inner workings of snapshots, but it is worth knowing that 
snapshots drastically increase the IO rate on the file system - for 
every snapshot. That's where the slowness comes from.
