I’m waiting for the current shrinking job to finish but this is likely limited to the “find free space” algorithm. We’re talking about a few megabytes converted per second. Sigh.

Btw since this is all on LVM already, you could set up lvmcache with a small
SSD-based cache volume. Even some old 60GB SSD would work wonders for
performance, and with the cache policy of "writethrough" you don't have to
worry about its reliability (much).
