I don't think I miss any free space ;-)

Well I could I know this beforehand?

(From one of my machines, but the others have rather the same
architecture...)

# btrfs fi sh
failed to read /dev/sr0

    devid    1 size 912.26GB used 464.04GB path /dev/dm-1

Hmmm. Looks fine for me.

Where is this volume pool located on? On which drive(s)?

...and I have quite a lot of snapshots, as I use OpenSuSE excellent
"snapper" utility :

[…]

...or if you prefer, something like :

# btrfs su li /
ID 256 top level 5 path UBUNTU
ID 259 top level 5 path UBUNTU/@
ID 261 top level 5 path UBUNTU/@tmp
ID 262 top level 5 path UBUNTU/@home

This could be 100 or more subvolumes / snapshots.

Maybe slowness could be related to this one.

It would be good to have some capture of this slowness with

vmstat 10

iostat -xd 10 /your/device

or something like that. Especially for the later, cause it shows the count 
of reads and writes.

Also how much RAM has the machine? What does free -m / cat /proc/meminfo 
tell.

Other than that I leave this too BTRFS developers to answer to. I think 
that this has become easier by the data you provided.

Thanks,
