One thing to keep in mind is that each share it it's own BTRFS subvolume. One consequence is that when you move a file to a different share, the system will actually do a copy+delete. That might be the real cause of the speed issues you are seeing.
If you are using shell commands, you can copy with --reflink and then delete the original. the --reflink uses CoW's ability to share the datablocks, so it has the same speed as a move.
I don't know if there is any way to configure midnight commander to do that.
