--- Comment #76 from Ludwig Nussel ---
Short of fixing the root cause for everyone, maybe we can improve the
experience for the worse cases. Maybe we can make the balancing more visible
and more explicit, specifically on desktops? What's really bad about the
current implementation is that those btrfs maintenance tasks hit you
unexpectedly. So if you want to get work done and the systems suddenly starts
to be unresponsive of course you get grumpy.
The background timer does not know if the time is a convenient one for the
user.
How about for example running those btrfs tasks directly after installing
updates, as part of what the desktop applet shows? That's something desktop
users are expected to do regularly anyways and installing updates also degrades
system performance.
In addition there could be eg some passive notification that tells the user
that some cleanup tasks need to be done, in case the system detects the need
for that. Firefox does something like that for example.
