I also found this to be the case as I rebalanced the root filesystem of my
Debian installation on this ThinkPad T520 on an Intel SSD 320.
It doubled the boot time that systemd-analayze rebootet back then.
apt-get dist-upgrade was noticably slower to.
Thus I avoid balance unless I really need it.
For migrating of /home to BTRFS RAID 1 on Intel SSD 320 + Crucial mSATA M500
SSD I did a balance to switch to RAID 1. Probably /home would be faster
recreating it from scratch and restoring from backup tough.
Especially MySQL based Akonadi seems to be slower than with /home on a single
SSD, but that might also be due to that amount of mails in Linux kernel-ml
folder raising to a high amount (and inefficiencies in Akonadi).
