Hi,

I tried to balance my home folder. The disk spins and after an hour it 
hasn't completed. This is a 300 GB home directory about half full. I 
know balance takes while, but how long should it take? This is a 7200 
rpm disk on a dual 2 ghz processor laptop running Linux Mint 11 and 
btrfs 0.19. It has an ext2 /boot, a btrfs / and btrfs /home partitions. 
The btrfs partitions have compression enabled.
