Hi,

I have a btrfs backup system that has been running great. Its been
backing up 6 systems with 500-750 gigs of data using Rsync and
snapshots. Every night I snapshot the backup and overwrite it.
Recently it has been unable to complete the backups. Its running soooo
slow that it can barely finish 1 backup a day. When I first started
backing up the systems they would all complete in at the most 8 hours.
I noticed it started happening after I deleted a large number of
snapshots. This caused the cleaner process to run for a few days.
After it finished the filesystem has still been to slow to use.

I'm running kernel 2.6.36-rc4.

Filesystem was built with -m single -d single and using the compress
mount option.

Block device is an Areca RAID5 with 4 Western Digital 2TB drives.
